🌐 handwritten.js

<script src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/gh/alias-rahil/handwritten.js@HEAD/docs/handwritten.js"></script>

This will expose the latest version of handwritten.js as a global variable called handwritten which you can start using right away. Check the contents of docs/ folder for a simple implementation. For other versions, install the required version with npm and use browserify to compile it. Optionally, use babel-minify to compress the bundled javascript file.

npm install handwritten.js

or

yarn add handwritten.js

npm install handwritten.js -g

or

yarn global add handwritten.js

Note: DO NOT use sudo to install global packages! The correct way is to tell npm where to install its global packages: npm config set prefix ~/.local. Make sure ~/.local/bin is added to PATH.

const handwritten = require('handwritten.js')
const fs = require('fs')
const rawtext = "Hello, world!"
handwritten(rawtext).then((converted) => {
    converted.pipe(fs.createWriteStream('output.pdf'))
})

npx handwritten.js -f "path/to/inputfile.txt" -o "path/to/outputfile.pdf"

Note: Use this method only if you plan to use handwritten.js for one time, installing handwritten.js globally (see-below) is recommended for multiple time usages.

handwritten.js -f "path/to/inputfile.txt" -o "path/to/outputfile.pdf"

handwritten.js -f path/to/inputfile.txt -o path/to/outputfile.pdf
handwritten.js -f path/to/inputfile.txt -o path/to/outputfile.pdf --ruled
handwritten.js -f path/to/inputfile.txt -o path/to/outputfolder --images png

Check --help or --version option for more details.

handwritten(rawtext)
handwritten(rawtext, { ruled: true })
handwritten(rawtext, { outputType: "jpeg/buf" })
handwritten(rawtext, { ruled: true, outputType: "jpeg/b64" })
handwritten(rawtext, { ruled: true, outputType: "jpeg/b64" , inkColor: COLORS.RED})

Default outputType: "pdf". Supported output types are: pdf, jpeg/buf, jpeg/b64, png/buf and png/b64. If the output type is set to pdf, it returns a promise that will resolve in a pdfkit document instance. Else it will return a promise that will resolve in an array containing the buffer or base64 value of the images according to the output type provided. Default inkColor is black, more ink colors are available through COLORS under handwritten.js/constants

handwritten.js only supports English letters. I am not planning to add support for other languages for now. Please do not any more make issues about this. However, I will merge pull requests if any. See the issue #18 for more details.
