template-goblin-ui

Visual template builder for TemplateGoblin — drag-and-drop design surface that exports .tgbl templates for the template-goblin PDF engine.

Run locally (no install)

npx template-goblin-ui

Opens the visual builder in your browser at http://localhost:4242. Design your template, then Export → .tgbl and feed the file into the SDK.

What you can design

• Multi-page templates with custom or preset page sizes (A3 / A4 / A5 / Letter / Legal)
• Text fields with dynamic font-fitting, alignment, decoration, and JSON-key bindings
• Image fields with fill / contain / cover modes and static or dynamic sources
• Table fields with per-column styling, header/row themes, transparent fills, table-level borders, and fit-to-content layout
• Hyperlinks that open URLs from the input JSON
• Page-level backgrounds (solid colour, image, or inherit from the previous page)

Everything saves as a single portable .tgbl archive — design once, render anywhere with template-goblin.

Generate PDFs from your template

import { writeFile } from 'node:fs/promises'
import { loadTemplate, generatePDF } from 'template-goblin'

const template = await loadTemplate('./my-template.tgbl')
const pdf = await generatePDF(template, {
  /* your JSON input */
})
await writeFile('out.pdf', pdf)
