PDF Microservice

PDF Microservice is a simple Express.js based microservice that converts HTML pages into PDF files using Puppeteer. It provides a straightforward and efficient way to create PDF files from any given URL.

Getting Started

These instructions will get you a copy of the project up and running on your local machine for development and testing purposes.

Prerequisites

  • Docker
  • Node.js
  • NPM

Building the Docker image

To build the Docker image for this project, navigate to the project directory and run the following command:

docker build -t pdf-microservice .

This command builds a Docker image from the Dockerfile included in this repository, and tags the image as pdf-microservice.

Running the microservice

Once the Docker image is built, you can start the microservice by running the following command:

docker run -p 8080:8080 pdf-microservice

The microservice will start and listen on port 8080. You can adjust the port mapping as needed.

Usage

The microservice exposes a single endpoint at /pdf. This endpoint accepts a GET request with two optional query parameters: url and name.

  • url: The URL of the webpage you want to convert into a PDF. This is a required parameter.
  • name: The desired name of the output PDF file. If not provided, the default name is "file".

Here's an example request:

http://localhost:8080/pdf?url=https://example.com&name=myfile
