A Node.js wrapper for the wkhtmltox command line tool. As the name implies, it converts HTML documents to PDFs, images and more using WebKit.

Inspired by devongovett's node-wkhtmltopdf.

First, you need to install the wkhtmltopdf command line tool on your system.

The easiest way to do this is to download a prebuilt version for your system. DO NOT try to use the packages provided by your distribution as they may not be using a patched Qt and have missing features.

Finally, to install the node module, use npm or yarn:

# npm
npm install wkhtmltox
# yarn
yarn add wkhtmltox

import {HtmlParser} from 'wkhtmltox'

// create the parser
const parser = new HtmlParser()

parser.createStream('http://google.com')
  .pipe(fs.createWriteStream('out.pdf'));

parser.createStream('<h1>Test</h1><p>Hello world</p>')
  .pipe(res);

// Stream input and output
var stream = wkhtmltopdf(fs.createReadStream('file.html'));
