hpdf
NodeJS's library for generating PDF from HTML with pool of browsers (puppeteer) in the background.
There are enough NodeJS libraries to generate PDF from HTML. Why do you need another one?
- There is no up-to-date libraries.
- There is no libraries with pool (but we have to use pooling when we are talking about browser in the background)
Features:
- Configurable pool of pages (as resources) in the background
- Fully tested
- Written in TypeScript
How it works

Install
npm install hpdfUsage
import fs from 'fs';
import { PdfGenerator } from './src';
const start = async () => {
const generator = new PdfGenerator({
min: 3,
max: 10,
});
const helloWorld = await generator.generatePDF('<html lang="html">Hello World!</html>');
const github = await generator.generatePDF(new URL('https://github.com/frimuchkov/hpdf'));
await fs.promises.writeFile('./helloWorld.pdf', helloWorld);
await fs.promises.writeFile('./github.pdf', github);
await generator.stop();
}Before using puppeteer you have to install an additional libs:
FROM node:16-alpine AS base
# Installs latest Chromium (89) package.
RUN apk add --no-cache \
chromium \
nss \
freetype \
harfbuzz \
ca-certificates \
ttf-freefont
# Tell Puppeteer to skip installing Chrome. We'll be using the installed package.
ENV PUPPETEER_SKIP_CHROMIUM_DOWNLOAD=true \
PUPPETEER_EXECUTABLE_PATH=/usr/bin/chromium-browser
WORKDIR /app
COPY . .
RUN npm ci
RUN npm run build
RUN npm ci --omit=dev
RUN apk add --no-cache tini
