npm i omnia-ebook-generator
# or
yarn add omnia-ebook-generator

const EBook = require("omnia-ebook-generator");

const ebook = new EBook({
      title: "Title of the book", // Title
      description: "Description of the book.", // Description
      publisher: "Publisher", // Publisher
      author: "H.P. Lovecraft", // Author
      lang: "en" //2-char language code
      cover: {
        extension: "png", // File extension
        type: "image/png", // Media type
        data: "iVBORw....." // base64 string
        }
      },
      [
        {
          title: 'About the author',
          data: '<h2>Lorem Ipsum</h2>'
        },
        {
          title: 'Lorem ipsum dolor',
          data: '<p>Lorem ipsum dolor ... voluptua.</p>'
        }
      ]);

ebook.render();
ebook.save('filename.epub');

This section provides documentation on how each method works. It's intended to be a technical reference.

Initialize a new EBook instance. opts can also contain the following values:

• opts.id: default: Random UUIDv4. Unique identifier of the book.
• opts.title: default: no title. Title of the book.
• opts.description: default: 'no description'. Description of the book.
• opts.publisher: default: 'anonymous'. Listed publisher of the book.
• opts.author: default: 'anonymous'. Listed author of the book.
• opts.tocTitle: default: 'Table Of Contents'. Header used on the Table of Contents page.
• opts.date: default: new Date().toISOString(). Creation date of the book.
• opts.lang: default: 'en'. Used language in the book.
• opts.cover: default: false. See cover.

• opts.cover.extension: File extension, png for example.
• opts.cover.type: default: false. Media type, media/png for example.
• opts.cover.data: default: false. Base64 encoded image string.

Renders the complete ebook and prepares it for use.

• opts.use: default: epub3. Template to use.
• opts.path: default: ./templates. Template directory.
• opts.ejs: default: { rmWhitespace: true }. EJS options object.

See EJS options for an overview of all options.

Saves the epub to a local path. But needs to be rendered first, see .render().

Returns a promise with the generated ebook and can be used like this:

const data = await ebook.base64();
// or
ebook.base64().then(data => {
  console.log(data);
}

But needs to be rendered first, see .render().
