Add support for running ReLaXed directly in NodeJS, without CLI about relaxed HOT 8 CLOSED

I'm currently able to use ReLaXed through a NodeJS server.
I'm using https://github.com/RelaxedJS/ReLaXed#using-it-as-a-node-module as a basis but the example isn't super perfect.

I've mentioned some of my issues in #147 and #148

Hi @lucianonooijen,

do you mean this?

Hi @DanielRuf, thanks for the prompt reply!

Sort of, but this still uses paths/files like

• <path-to-render-html>.htm',
• <path-to-render-pdf>.pdf'
• './template.pug'

so it still required disk writes/reads. What would be awesome it to have the same functionality, but to give the HTML as an argument, and get a PDF buffer back.

Ah, the tempHTMLPath

Aktuell überbewertet, eindeutig. Als Anleger sollte man eh breit streuen

If you go straight from HTML to PDF, maybe you could send the HTML directly to pupetteer instead of going through ReLaXed?

from relaxed.

@Zulko we have considered going that route, but ReLaXed is a great tool to abstract away some other tools like Mermaid and such

Hi @jwmann , this is great to know, would you be OK to update the current readme with your solution?

from relaxed.

@Zulko Yea I'd be totally okay with that once I get it working reliably.
I still can't run it more than once, which I describe in #148
I have to restart my node server every time to generate a PDF.

Once I somehow fix #148 I'll make a pull request to update the example.
