Conversion Tools API Node.js Client

Conversion Tools is an online service that offers a fast and easy way to convert documents between different formats, like XML, Excel, PDF, Word, Text, CSV and others.

This Node.js Client allows integrating the conversion of the files into your node.js applications. To convert the files Node.js Client uses the public Conversion Tools REST API.

Installation

yarn add conversiontools

or

npm install --save conversiontools

Examples

To use REST API - get API Token from the Profile page at https://conversiontools.io/profile.

Using Promises

const ConversionClient = require('conversiontools');

// API Token from your Profile page at https://conversiontools.io/profile
const apiToken = 'put the api token here';

const conversionClient = new ConversionClient(apiToken);
const conversionOptions = {
  filename: 'test.xml',
  timeout: 4000,
  outputFilename: 'test.xml.csv',
  options: {
    delimiter: 'tab',
  },
};

conversionClient
  .run('convert.xml_to_csv', conversionOptions)
  .then((filename) => {
    console.log('File downloaded to', filename);
  })
  .catch(err => {
    console.error('Conversion error', err);
  });

Using async/await

const ConversionClient = require('conversiontools');

// API Token from your Profile page at https://conversiontools.io/profile
const apiToken = 'put the api token here';

const convert = async () => {
  const conversionClient = new ConversionClient(apiToken);
  const conversionOptions = {
    filename: 'test.xml',
    timeout: 4000,
    outputFilename: 'test.xml.csv',
    options: {
      delimiter: 'tab',
    },
  };
  try {
    const filename = await conversionClient.run('convert.xml_to_csv', conversionOptions);
    console.log('File downloaded to', filename);
  } catch (err) {
    console.error('Conversion error', err);
  }
};
