@policystack/renderers

Shared policy render layer for PolicyStack.

Turns the Document AST produced by @policystack/core into Markdown, HTML, or PDF. This is the layer the official framework integrations build on; most apps render via @policystack/sdk or a framework package and never import this directly.

What it does

• compilePolicy(config, type, options) — compile a PolicyStackConfig and a policy type ("privacy" | "cookie") straight to rendered output in memory.
• One shared visit()-based pass per format, so Markdown, HTML, and PDF can't disagree about how a node renders.
• Output is in-memory only: string for Markdown/HTML, Buffer for PDF. Never written to disk — the caller decides what to do with it.

Usage

import { compilePolicy } from "@policystack/renderers";

const results = await compilePolicy(
	{
		effectiveDate: "2026-01-01",
		jurisdictions: ["eea"],
		company: {
			name: "Acme",
			legalName: "Acme, Inc.",
			address: "...",
			contact: { email: "[email protected]" },
		},
		// ... rest of config
	},
	"privacy",
	{ formats: ["markdown", "html", "pdf"] },
);

for (const result of results) {
	// result.content is string for markdown/html, Buffer for pdf
	console.log(result.format, result.content);
}
