for several days now I'm learning html, CSS and now javascript. What I need is a way to get the informations of an pdf document into my html webpage.
I tried several things now and couldnt find the correct answer or informations I need. So here come an use case:
- get an .pdf document into a folder
- get the information of all .pdf documents of the target folder (with the exact same formatting)
- convert those information into html context
- get this html context to show on the webpage (images and text)
1 is trivial, I can just drag and drop my documents
2 I'm thinking about something like an array, which then calls the folder to get data into it.
For this I found:
'use strict';
function getFiles(dir) {
fileList = [];
var files = fs.readdirSync(dir);
for (var i in files) {
if (!files.hasOwnProperty(i)) continue;
var name = dir + '/' + files[i];
if (!fs.statSync(name).isDirectory()) {
fileList.push(name);
}
}
return fileList;
}
console.log(getFiles('pathtodirectory'));
Here I'm always getting a reference error, no matter what the path, well I can use only a local path on my pc for now. I'm not 100% sure what everything does, but I think I got it good so far. This function just gets me a list of the documents to work with.
3 That's even more tricky for me now, but I think if I get the data to work with, I may be able to work something out.
4 I think I can do it with a little research
I am happy for any tips or solutions, as I said I'm quite new to all of this :)
regards,
Pascal
