Pagedjs docker image example implementaion

TLDR;

1. setting up the docker (docker-compose up)
2. update the config for clientID and clientsecret
3. npm install
4. node index.js

But seriously, read below, the config (like all config) can be a tad weird.

1. Setting up the docker.

There is a docker-compose.yml file ready to be used with docker-compose up.

On first build, the docker will log a clientID and a clientsecret. Those two needs to be added in the config.js file, as they’re use to create the handshake between the server and the docker container.

The config file also needs to have the information about the protocol, the url and the port of the docker container, with the path to the .zip file that will be converted.

The input needs to be a zip file containing at least a html file to render with the content.

It can also contains:

• One single css file that will be parsed by paged.js (we can only have one file for now, so please avoid imports)
• One or multiple javascript hooks for paged.js, to allow dom manipulation
• The fonts (ttf and woff2 have been the most usable ones so far, but it should be working with other languages)

The images can be linked from another server (make sure you’re not mixing https and http).

Run the app.

npm install to get the dependencies, node index.js will run the script and send the zipfile to the docker container, creating a pdf file in the output folder, ready to be looked at by the designers. It’s using paged.js CLI in a linux environment, so you may have differences if the layout was designed on an let’s say OSX.
