UniHTML is a plugin for the UniPDF Golang library.

It requires valid UniPDF license with the UniHTML plugin. Visit https://unidoc.io to get more information.

This plugin works in a pair with the UniHTML server. It is distributed using Docker images and could be downloaded directly from the unidoccloud/unihtml DockerHub repository

1. Get UniHTML-Server Docker image: docker pull unidoccloud/unihtml:latest
2. Start UniHTML server with some output port defined:

   docker run -p 8080:8080 -e UNIHTML_LICENSE_PATH=path/to/license -e UNIHTML_CUSTOMER_NAME=customer_name unidoccloud/unihtml

3. Define environment variable: UNIPDF_LICENSE_PATH with the path to the UniDoc license.
4. Define environment variable: UNIPDF_CUSTOMER_NAME with your customer name matching your license.
5. Get the latest version of the github.com/unidoc/unipdf/v3 module: go get github.com/unidoc/unipdf/v3

UniHTML Server accepts both the offline and metered UniDoc licenses. A license with a UniHTML module is required to run both the server and client.

A regular license could be set on the server by setting one of two possible environment variables:

• UNIHTML_LICENSE_PATH - the value should be the path to the UniDoc license file with the UniHTML module.
• UNIHTML_LICENSE - full content of valid UniDoc license with the UniHTML module.

This license kind requires also an environment variable UNIHTML_CUSTOMER_NAME which defines the customer name provided with the UniDoc license.

UniHTML Server accepts also a UniDoc metered license. This could be set by providing you API Key in the environment variable:

• UNIDOC_METERED_API_KEY - the value of this variable should be an API Key matched to your license.

Following example connects to the UniHTML server, reads the content of the input file and converts it using github.com/unidoc/unipdf/v3/creator package.

package main

import (
	"fmt"
	"os"

	"github.com/unidoc/unihtml"
	"github.com/unidoc/unipdf/v3/creator"
)

func main() {
	// UniHTML requires two arguments:
	// - Connection path to the unihtml-server i.e.: https://localhost:8080
	// - Input path for the file / directory to convert
	if len(os.Args) != 3 {
		fmt.Println("Err: provided invalid arguments. No UniHTML server path provided")
		os.Exit(1)
	}

	// Establish connection with the UniHTML Server.
	if err := unihtml.Connect(os.Args[1]); err != nil {
		fmt.Printf("Err:  Connect failed: %v\n", err)
		os.Exit(1)
	}

	// Get new PDF Creator.
	c := creator.New()

	// Read the content of the simple.html file and load it to the conversion.
	doc, err := unihtml.NewDocument(os.Args[2])
	if err != nil {
		fmt.Printf("Err: NewDocument failed: %v\n", err)
		os.Exit(1)
	}

	// Draw the html document file in the context of the creator.
	if err = c.Draw(doc); err != nil {
		fmt.Printf("Err: Draw failed: %v\n", err)
		os.Exit(1)
	}

	// Write the result file to PDF.
	if err = c.WriteToFile("document.pdf"); err != nil {
		fmt.Printf("Err: %v\n", err)
		os.Exit(1)
	}
}
