go-wkhtmltox

Run as a service

Run at local

> go get github.com/gogap/go-wkhtmltox
> cd $GOPATH/src/github.com/gogap/go-wkhtmltox
> go build
> ./go-wkhtmltox run -c app.conf

Run at docker

docker pull idocking/go-wkhtmltox:latest
docker run -it -d -p 8080:8080 idocking/go-wkhtmltox:latest ./go-wkhtmltox run

or

docker-compose up -d

then you could access the 8080 port in osx, you could get the docker ip by command docker-machine ip, and the access service by IP:8080

Use curl

To image

curl -X POST \
  http://IP:8080/v1/convert \
  -H 'accept-encoding: gzip' \
  -H 'cache-control: no-cache' \
  -H 'content-type: application/json' \
  -d '{
		"to" : "image",
		"converter":{
			"uri": "https://www.bing.com"
	    }
    }'

To pdf

curl -X POST \
  http://IP:8080/v1/convert \
  -H 'accept-encoding: gzip' \
  -H 'cache-control: no-cache' \
  -H 'content-type: application/json' \
  -d '{
		"to" : "pdf",
		"converter":{
			"uri": "https://www.bing.com"
		}
    }'

if you enabled gzip, you should add arg --compressed to curl

Screenshot

Template

The defualt template is

{"code":{{.Code}},"message":"{{.Message}}"{{if .Result}},"result":{{.Result|Jsonify}}{{end}}}

response example:

{"code":0,"message":"","result":{"data":"bGl.............}}

we could add template to render as different response, we have another example template named render-data

{
	"to" : "image",
	"converter":{
		"uri": "https://www.bing.com"
	},
	"template": "render-html"
}

the response is

<html>
	<body>
	     	<img src="data:image/jpeg;base64,bGl............"/> 
 	</body>
</html>

So, the template will render at brower directly. you could add more your templates

Template funcs

Func	usage
base64Encode	encode value to base64 string
base64Decode	decode base64 string to string
jsonify	marshal object
md5	string md5 hash
toBytes	convert value to []byte
htmlEscape	for html safe
htmlUnescape	unescape html

Template Args

type TemplateArgs struct {
	To string
	ConvertResponse
	Response *RespHelper
}

type ConvertResponse struct {
	Code    int         `json:"code"`
	Message string      `json:"message"`
	Result  interface{} `json:"result"`
}

Internal templates

at templates dir

Name	Usage
default template, retrun code,message, result
render-html	render data to html
binary	you cloud use curl to download directly

use render-html

curl -X POST \
  http://IP:8080/v1/convert \
  -H 'accept-encoding: gzip' \
  -H 'cache-control: no-cache' \
  -H 'content-type: application/json' \
  -d '{
	"to" : "image",
	"converter":{
		"uri": "https://www.bing.com"
	},
	"template": "render-html"
}' --compressed -o bing.html

use binary

curl -X POST \
  http://IP:8080/v1/convert \
  -H 'accept-encoding: gzip' \
  -H 'cache-control: no-cache' \
  -H 'content-type: application/json' \
  -d '{
	"to" : "image",
	"converter":{
		"uri": "https://www.bing.com"
	},
	"template": "binary"
}' --compressed -o bing.jpg

Fetcher

fetcher is an external source input, sometimes we could not fetch data by url, or the wkthmltox could not access the url because of some auth options

Data fetcher

the request contain data

curl -X POST \
  http://127.0.0.1:8080/v1/convert \
  -H 'cache-control: no-cache' \
  -H 'content-type: application/json' \
  -d '{
        "to" : "image",
        "fetcher" : {
        	"name": "data",
        	"params": {
		"data":"PGh0bWw+CiAgPGJvZHk+CiAgICAgICJIZWxsbyIgV29ybGQKICA8L2JvZHk+CjwvaHRtbD4="
        	}
        },
        "converter":{
        },
        "template": "binary"
}' -o data.jpg

> echo PGh0bWw+CiAgPGJvZHk+CiAgICAgICJIZWxsbyIgV29ybGQKICA8L2JvZHk+CjwvaHRtbD4= | base64 -D


<html>
  <body>
      "Hello" World
  </body>
</html>

params:

{
    "data":"base64string"
}

HTTP fetcher

Fetch data by http driver

curl -X POST \
  http://IP:8080/v1/convert \
  -H 'cache-control: no-cache' \
  -H 'content-type: application/json' \
  -d '{
        "to" : "image",
        "fetcher" : {
                "name": "http",
                "params": {
                        "url":"https://github.com"
                }
        },
        "converter":{
        },
        "template": "render-html"
}' -o github.html

params:

{
    "url": "https://github.com",
    "method": "GET",
    "headers": {
        "content-type": "xxx"
    },
    "data": "base64string",
    "replace": {}
}

Code your own fetcher

step 1: Implement the following interface

type Fetcher interface {
	Fetch(FetchParams) ([]byte, error)
}

func NewDataFetcher(conf config.Configuration) (dataFetcher fetcher.Fetcher, err error) {
	dataFetcher = &DataFetcher{}
	return
}

step 2: Reigister your driver

func init() {
	err := fetcher.RegisterFetcher("data", NewDataFetcher)

	if err != nil {
		panic(err)
	}
}

step 3: import driver and rebuild

import (
	_ "github.com/gogap/go-wkhtmltox/wkhtmltox/fetcher/data"
	_ "github.com/gogap/go-wkhtmltox/wkhtmltox/fetcher/http"
)

make sure the register name is unique

Use this package as libary

Just import github.com/gogap/go-wkhtmltox/wkhtmltox

htmlToX, err := wkhtmltox.New(wkHtmlToXConf)
//...
//...
convData, err := htmlToX.Convert(fetcherOpts, convertOpts)
