const EmlParser = require('eml-parser');
const fs = require('fs');
let emailFile = fs.createReadStream('./test.eml'); // or test.msg
.eml
new EmlParser(emailFile).convertEmailToStream('pdf')
.then(stream => {
stream.pipe(fs.createWriteStream(emailFile.path + '.pdf'));
})
.catch(err => {
console.log(err);
})
.msg
new EmlParser(emailFile).convertMessageToStream('pdf')
.then(stream => {
stream.pipe(fs.createWriteStream(emailFile.path + '.pdf'));
})
.catch(err => {
console.log(err);

Reference
Class: EmlParser
new EmlParser(fs.createReadStream('test.eml'))
constructor takes a Read Stream as input
Methods for .eml file
parseEml
takes 2 optional arguments, returns the parsed eml object.
{ignoreEmbedded: true}
, use this to ignore embedded files from appearing under attachments{highlightKeywords: String[], highlightCaseSensitive: true}
, (e.g: {highlightKeywords: ["foo", "bar"], highlightCaseSensitive: true}) use this to highlight certain keywords in the email's html content.highlightCaseSensitive: true
will highlight keywords which match the case, defaults to false.
