Optimize Toolset

I’ve always been into building performant and accessible sites, but lately I’ve been taking it extremely seriously. So much so that I’ve been building a tool to help me optimize and monitor the sites that I build to make sure that I’m making an attempt to offer the best experience to those who visit them. If you’re into performant, accessible and SEO friendly sites, you might like it too! You can check it out at Optimize Toolset.

About

Hi, 👋, I’m Ryan Hefner  and I built this site for me, and you! The goal of this site was to provide an easy way for me to check the stats on my npm packages, both for prioritizing issues and updates, and to give me a little kick in the pants to keep up on stuff.

As I was building it, I realized that I was actually using the tool to build the tool, and figured I might as well put this out there and hopefully others will find it to be a fast and useful way to search and browse npm packages as I have.

If you’re interested in other things I’m working on, follow me on Twitter or check out the open source projects I’ve been publishing on GitHub.

I am also working on a Twitter bot for this site to tweet the most popular, newest, random packages from npm. Please follow that account now and it will start sending out packages soon–ish.

Open Software & Tools

This site wouldn’t be possible without the immense generosity and tireless efforts from the people who make contributions to the world and share their work via open source initiatives. Thank you 🙏

epdf

v0.1.3

Published

Render any URL to PDF using Electron

Downloads

Readme

Description

Uses Electron to render any webpage (by URL) to a PDF. Works for websites rendered in the browser with JavaScript.

Installation and Usage

Get with NPM:

# local for one project
npm install --save-exact epdf

# global for CLI
npm install --global epdf

Epdf can be used as a Node.js library or from the command line.

Programmatic API

const {render} = require('epdf')

render({url: 'https://my-awesome-website' /* other settings */})
  .then(buffer => {
    // buffer contains rendered PDF in binary form
  })
  .catch(error => {
    // ...
  })

render takes the same args as the CLI. To see the available settings, run $(npm bin)/epdf --help (for local install) or epdf --help (for global install).

The value returned by render can be used as a promise, but is actually a Future from the Posterus library. You can stop it by calling .deinit(), which immediately closes the Electron process.

const {render} = require('epdf')

const future = render(settings)
  .mapResult(buffer => {})
  .mapError(error => {})

// Stops the whole thing
future.deinit()

CLI

# for global install
epdf

# for local install
$(npm bin)/epdf

# get help
epdf --help

# to stdout
epdf --url <some-url>

# to file
epdf --url <some-url> --out <some-file>
