A small wrapper for generating PDFs with LaTeX in Node.
LaTeX must be installed on your machine. You can download it here.
npm install node-latex
const latex = require('node-latex')
const fs = require('fs')
const input = fs.createReadStream('input.tex')
const output = fs.createWriteStream('output.pdf')
latex(input).pipe(output)doc [ReadableStream|String] Required - The (La)TeX document you want to use.
options.inputs [String|Array] - The absolute path (or an array of absolute paths) to the directory which contains the assets necessary for the doc.
options.fonts [String|Array] - The absolute path (or an array of absolute paths) to the directory which contains the fonts necessary for the doc (you will most likely want to use this option if you're working with fontspec).
options.cmd [String] - The command to run for your document (pdflatex, xetex, etc). pdflatex is the default.
options.args [Array] - Arguments passed to cmd. Defaults to ['-halt-on-error'].
options.passes [Number] - The number of times to run options.cmd. Some documents require multiple passes. Only works when doc is a String. Defaults to 1.
options.errorLogs [String] - The path to the file where you want to save the contents of the error log to.
options.makeindex [Bool] - if true, makeindex will be run after every pass.
options.indexStyle [String] - Index style file, will be temporary stored as a file and passed to makeindex as .sty file.
