Twindle: Creating PDF's from html using Puppeteer

[tolgaerdonmez]

We can use puppeteer to render pdf from html, should I create an example ?

[tolgaerdonmez]

Also It would be easy to create a design, using html & css for pdfs.

I like this idea.

[tolgaerdonmez]

All right, lets give it a try :)

Sounds good :smiley:

Just to add my 2 cents, in the past I have used https://www.npmjs.com/package/html5-to-pdf (uses puppeteer in the backend) along with mustache template library to generate pdf reports.

[tolgaerdonmez]

That's also good, we can start with bare puppeteer than switch to that if we're going to use this approach.
I've also used handlebars to setup a main template for the pdf.
Should I also include handlebars or should I keep it simple.

[johnjacobkenny]

We will need handlebars or something, but if you can just keep a static html version of the same template so that we can show others what is happening and what handebars is doing.

[tolgaerdonmez]

That's a good idea, I'll do that, thanks.
