api2pdf.node's Issues

Support for object params

Per Issue #1, I think it would make sense to modify methods to accept object parameters, or roll everything but the first parameter into 'options'.

So that this:

a2pClient.headlessChromeFromUrl('https://www.github.com', true, 'test.pdf', options)
    .then(function(result) {
        console.log(result); //successful api call
    }, function(rejected) {
        console.log(rejected); //an error occurred
    }
);

Becomes this:

a2pClient.headlessChromeFromUrl('https://www.github.com', options)
    .then(function(result) {
        console.log(result); //successful api call
    }, function(rejected) {
        console.log(rejected); //an error occurred
    }
);

or:

a2pClient.headlessChromeFromUrl('https://www.github.com', { inline: true, filename: "test.pdf", options: options })
    .then(function(result) {
        console.log(result); //successful api call
    }, function(rejected) {
        console.log(rejected); //an error occurred
    }
);

Request deprecation (dependency)

Hi,

Sadly, the dependency that you use to make requests to the api2pdf service, "[email protected]", is deprecated. We get warnings when installing your package, this will become a deal breaker sooner or later as it is no longer maintained.

You can see more details here:
request/request#3142

Any plans to replace it (or rewrite the code really) soon?

Thank you.

Using S3 for custom storage

I tried to convert html to pdf by enabling the custom storage to S3, but I got this error:

 SyntaxError: Unexpected token F in JSON at position 9
     at JSON.parse (<anonymous>)

Any idea to solve this one?

How to pass the option value for headless chrome

Hi!

I am trying to pass the option value by executing this script:

var Api2Pdf = require('api2pdf');   
var a2pClient = new Api2Pdf('key');

var options =   {
    url: "link",
    inlinePdf: true,
    options: {
      landscape: true,
      printBackground: false,
    }
  }
a2pClient.headlessChromeFromUrl('link', options=options)
    .then(function(result) {
        console.log(result); //successful api call
    }, function(rejected) {
        console.log(rejected); //an error occurred
    }
);

But I get the following error:

{ success: false,
  error: 'Invalid JSON. Check your payload and validate your requests by following this tutorial: https://www.api2pdf.com/how-to-use-api2pdfs-swaggerhub-to-get-the-most-out-of-our-support-team/' }

Is there a zip function ?

I do not see anything whereas is in the doc there is zip function ?

pdfharp/extract-pages and pdfharp/compress

Hi!
Do you have plans to add pdfharp/extract-pages and pdfharp/compress to node client lib?

Add try-catch around JSON.parse of request

This code block:

In case of complete API failure to respond, JSON is not returned and it results in exception here. Try-catch can be added to protect.

Merge PDF example returns a link to XML garbage

Using the example you guys provided, the following is logged to the console...

{ pdf:
   'https://media.api2pdf.com/18e63c51-da7b-4ad7-87e8-b89fe229d61f?X-Amz-Expires=86400&response-content-disposition=attachment%3B%20filename%3D18e63c51-da7b-4ad7-87e8-b89fe229d61f.pdf&response-content-type=application%2Fpdf&X-Amz-Algorithm=AWS4-HMAC-SHA256&X-Amz-Credential=AKIAJSHKEFTKBQX2AUYQ/20191015/us-east-1/s3/aws4_request&X-Amz-Date=20191015T034611Z&X-Amz-SignedHeaders=host&X-Amz-Signature=df9c3a0a232e4f6cb351f7de686d805ea049fa76097d134bdbc746282683a5bb',

  success: true,
  error: null,
  responseId: '32b1ef72-f2bb-4fdc-b1b9-c5917049185b' }

The response says the PDF merge was successful, but if you click the link that is provided to access your new PDF, you get some XML garbage...

How to send local file instead of hosted ppt url

currently it is only supporting http or https
Is there a way to send file from local system or ppt buffer.
I would like to convert ppt to pdf

headerHtml option not working

For wkhtmltopdf, I added a url 'https://geovea.com/pdf_header.html' as headerHtml option.
But it's not working. No any error, any other things are ok. and only the header is empty for each page. btw, the footerHtml is working.
any idea?

    const a2pClient = new Api2Pdf(process.env.REACT_APP_PDF_API);
    const { FileUrl } = await a2pClient.wkHtmlToPdf(
      $html.html(),
      {
        inline: false,
        filename: name + ".pdf",
        options: {
          headerHtml: 'https://geovea.com/pdf_header.html',
          marginBottom: 7,
          marginTop: 8,
          marginLeft: 7,
          marginRight: 7,
        }
      }
    );

How to use in TypeScript?

The advanced examples you give use Javascript named parameters like this:

var options = { orientation: 'landscape', pageSize: 'A4'};
a2pClient.wkhtmltopdfFromUrl('https://www.github.com', inline = true, filename = 'test.pdf', options = options).then(function(result) {
    console.log(result);
});

I'm trying to use this package in a TypeScript context where these types of parameters are not recognized. How should I use this library in a TypeScript context to obtain the same result?
