node-red-contrib-html-to-docx 1.0.2
The HTML to DOCX node converts HTML content to a DOCX file for node-red.
HTML to DOCX Node
The HTML to DOCX node converts HTML content to a DOCX file for node-red.
Installation
To install the package, run the following command in your Node-RED user directory (typically ~/.node-red):
npm install node-red-contrib-html-to-docx
Usage
The HTML to DOCX node takes an HTML input and converts it to a DOCX output file. The output file name is specified using the filename property. In the example above, the output file is saved as "output.docx" and specified as a "file".
Functionality
The function of this node is to convert the msg.payload content to a DOCX file and output it by saving it to the msg.payload property. Additionally, if the output property of the node is set to "Buffer", it returns a buffer instead of setting msg.payload.
Properties
- filename: Specifies the name of the DOCX file to be saved.
- output: Specifies the output type. It can take the values "Buffer" or "file".
Examples
The following example uses an inject node to send HTML content directly to the html2docx node and displays the output through a debug node.
[{"id":"1eb5ec7d.4a9a8a","type":"inject","z":"73a31b55.9b0484","name":"","topic":"","payload":"<html><head><title>Test Page</title></head><body><h1>Hello, world!</h1></body></html>","payloadType":"str","repeat":"","crontab":"","once":false,"onceDelay":0.1,"x":190,"y":300,"wires":[["6e6672d9.75c7f"]]},{"id":"6e6672d9.75c7f","type":"html2docx","z":"73a31b55.9b0484","name":"","filename":"output.docx","output":"Buffer","x":430,"y":300,"wires":[["c1d6d956.6b9aa"]]},{"id":"c1d6d956.6b9aa","type":"debug","z":"73a31b55.9b0484","name":"","active":true,"tosidebar":true,"console":false,"tostatus":false,"complete":"false","statusVal":"","statusType":"auto","x":670,"y":300,"wires":[]}]
In this example, the inject node sends the HTML content directly to the html2docx node. The html2docx node converts the incoming HTML content to a DOCX file and sends the resulting buffer in the msg.payload property to the debug node.
Error Handling
This node returns an error message when the HTML content cannot be converted. The error message can be retrieved using the error property added to the node's output.
