html2pdf.it

Using PhantomJS to generate pdfs, via a webservice. Runs using node.js.

See it in action at: html2pdf.it.

Ready to fork and push to heroku (where I run it).

Works out of the box on both windows and ubuntu.

On Mac you need to

brew install phantomjs

To get started you need to clone the repository, cd to it and run

npm install

Running webserver locally

This also opens your webbrowser on the local webserver

node open.js

Running webserver

node lib/app.js

If you want to host html2pdf.it yourself, you will have to ask your host if they support hosting Node.js applications. Node.js is still new, so a lot of hosts don't support it.

If your host does not support Node.js. You need to find a new host that does. Heroku.com or nodejitsu.com for example.

Running tests

npm test

Node modules used

  • Routing etc. is done with express
  • Testing is done with mocha, chai and sinon, using BDD style tests.
