@avodado/export

HTML and PDF export for Avodado documents. Browser concerns are isolated here, not in @avodado/core or @avodado/render.

Install

pnpm add @avodado/export @avodado/core
npx playwright install chromium      # one-time, only if you need PDF

playwright is an optionalDependency so installing without Chromium stays light for HTML-only consumers. For PDF you can also let it self-provision: call toPdf(doc, { autoInstallBrowser: true }) (or use installChromium()) to download the matching Chromium on first use — this is what the avo CLI does, so versions never drift.

Usage

import { parseDocument } from '@avodado/core';
import { toHtml, toPdf } from '@avodado/export';

const doc = parseDocument(markdown, 'orders');
const html = toHtml(doc);             // string
const pdf = await toPdf(doc, { format: 'A4' });  // Uint8Array
await writeFile('orders.pdf', pdf);

API

• toHtml(doc) — delegates to @avodado/render. Returns a standalone HTML string.
• toPdf(input, opts?) — input is a Document or pre-rendered HTML string. Launches headless Chromium via Playwright, sets the HTML, prints to PDF. Browser closed in finally.
• isChromiumAvailable() — Promise<boolean>. True only if playwright is installed AND the Chromium binary exists on disk. Use to gate optional PDF code paths.

PDF options

toPdf(doc, {
  format: 'A4' | 'Letter',           // default A4
  margin: { top, right, bottom, left },
});
