This tool uses Request on Parasoid to fetch specific pages of the How to be a Hero Wiki, put them in a nice HTML-template and generate a PDF via html-pdf for a printable version.
Ensure these executables can be found using the path environment variable:
- A NodeJS >8.0.0-installation
- A python 2-installation
- A
gitexecutable
On unix, ensure the libfontconfig is installed as well.
- Start a command line inside your cloned repository
npm installnpm run service- You're now able to make web-requests to generate PDFs.
To generate a PDF containing "Begabungen", "Fähigkeiten", "Geistesblitzpunkte" and "Kategorie:Charaktererstellung" visit http://localhost:3000/?title=Begabungen|F%C3%A4higkeiten|Geistesblitzpunkte|Kategorie:Charaktererstellung.
Two ports are required to run this project.
publicPort(default 3000), is the user-facing port used to receive HTTP requests and return the generated PDFs.parsoidPort(default 8000), is exclusively used internally to communicate between parsoid and the HTTP server handling user requests.
To change ports, modify the associated value in package.json and run npm install. Ensure that /index.js, /config.yaml and /node_modules/parsoid/config.yaml are writable before running npm install - you can re-run this command as often as needed.
If you need to change them at a later point, remember to run npm install again, after changing package.json.
