wkhtmlapp

Bindings to wkhtmltopdf and wkhtmltoimage

wkhtmlapp depends on the wkhtmltopdf application to generate PDFs or images, abstracted in such a way that it can support multithreading without damaging the main instance. This library was developed inspired by barryvdh's laravel-snappy.

        .set_arg("header-right", "Página [page] de [toPage]")?
        .set_arg("margin-top", "18")?;

        "demo",
    )?;
    println!("report: {:?}", report);

let file_path = pdf_app.run(WkhtmlInput::Html(html_code),"demo")?;
let file_path = pdf_app.run(WkhtmlInput::File("examples/index.html"), "demo")?;
let file_path = pdf_app.run(
            WkhtmlInput::Url("https://www.rust-lang.org/en-US/"),

        )?;

        let args = HashMap::from([("height", "20"), ("width", "20")]);

        let res = image_app
            .set_format(ImgFormat::Png)?
            .set_args(args)?
