Paper Sizes for Node

Retrieves exact dimensions for common paper sizes.

Unlike other "paper size" packages, this package returns sizes in their specified units.

• North American paper sizes (including ANSI and Arch) are returned in inches.
• ISO paper sizes are returned in millimetres.

This avoids strange paper sizes (like Letter paper set at 215.9 mm x 279.4 mm) when used in conjunction with report generating tools, like @cityssm/pdf-puppeteer.

That being said, helper functions are included to return dimensions in either inches or millimetres with three-decimal-digit precision.

Installation

npm install @cityssm/paper-sizes

Usage

import { getPaperSize, getPaperSizeInMillimetres } from '@cityssm/paper-sizes'

console.log(getPaperSize('A4'))
// => { width: 210, height: 297, unit: 'mm' }

console.log(getPaperSize('Letter'))
// => { "width": 8.5, "height": 11, "unit": "in" }

console.log(getPaperSizeInMillimetres('Letter'))
// => { "width": 215.9, "height": 279.4, "unit":"mm" }
