Optimize Toolset

I’ve always been into building performant and accessible sites, but lately I’ve been taking it extremely seriously. So much so that I’ve been building a tool to help me optimize and monitor the sites that I build to make sure that I’m making an attempt to offer the best experience to those who visit them. If you’re into performant, accessible and SEO friendly sites, you might like it too! You can check it out at Optimize Toolset.

About

Hi, 👋, I’m Ryan Hefner  and I built this site for me, and you! The goal of this site was to provide an easy way for me to check the stats on my npm packages, both for prioritizing issues and updates, and to give me a little kick in the pants to keep up on stuff.

As I was building it, I realized that I was actually using the tool to build the tool, and figured I might as well put this out there and hopefully others will find it to be a fast and useful way to search and browse npm packages as I have.

If you’re interested in other things I’m working on, follow me on Twitter or check out the open source projects I’ve been publishing on GitHub.

I am also working on a Twitter bot for this site to tweet the most popular, newest, random packages from npm. Please follow that account now and it will start sending out packages soon–ish.

Open Software & Tools

This site wouldn’t be possible without the immense generosity and tireless efforts from the people who make contributions to the world and share their work via open source initiatives. Thank you 🙏

Readme

node-unoconv

A node.js wrapper for converting documents with unoconv.

Requirements

Unoconv is required, which requires LibreOffice (or OpenOffice.)

Install

Install with:

npm install unoconv

Converting documents

var unoconv = require('unoconv');

unoconv.convert('document.docx', 'pdf', function (err, result) {
	// result is returned as a Buffer
	fs.writeFile('converted.pdf', result);
});

Starting a listener

You can also start a unoconv listener to avoid launching Libre/OpenOffice on every conversion:

unoconv.listen();

API

unoconv.convert(file, outputFormat, [options], callback)

Converts file to the specified outputFormat. options is an object with the following properties:

  • bin Path to the unoconv binary
  • port Unoconv listener port to connect to

callback gets the arguments err and result. result is returned as a Buffer object.

unoconv.listen([options])

Starts a new unoconv listener. options accepts the same parameters as convert().

Returns a ChildProcess object. You can handle errors by listening to the stderr property:

var listener = unoconv.listen({ port: 2002 });

listener.stderr.on('data', function (data) {
	console.log('stderr: ' + data.toString('utf8'));
});

unoconv.detectSupportedFormats([options], callback)

This function parses the output of unoconv --show to attempt to detect supported output formats.

options is an object with the following properties:

  • bin Path to the unoconv binary

callback gets the arguments err and result. result is an object containing a collection of supported document types and output formats.
