Legal Things - Document merger
With the document merger library, you can combine the contents of multiple documents. Currently only HTML is supported.
Requirements
- Node.js (ES6) >= 5.0.0
Installation
The library can be installed using npm.
npm install document-mergerHow it works
The library exposes a single function with which you can merge documents together.
The documents are merged together by a glue, which can be custom defined and defaults to pagebreaks.
The results of the merged documents is a html file which contains a body tag that has the body of the combined documents in it.
The head is inherited from the first file.
const DocumentMerger = require('document-merger');
const merger = new DocumentMerger();
let options = {
documents: [
{
content: `
<html>
<head>
<base href="http://example.com/cdn">
</head>
<body>
<p>This is the first document</p>
</body>
</html>
`,
type: 'html'
},
{
content: `
<html>
<head>This will be ignored, since only the first head is used</head>
<body>
<p>This is the second document</p>
<b>It ends here</b>
</body>
</html>
`,
type: 'html'
}
],
glue: '<div style="page-break-after: always"><span style="display:none"> </span></div>',
head: '<style>body {margin: 0}</style>'
};
console.log(merger.merge(options));
/*
output:
<html>
<head>
<base href="http://example.com/cdn">
<style>body {margin: 0}</style>

<body>
<p>This is the first document</p>
<div style="page-break-after: always"><span style="display:none"> </span></div>
