Getting Started

$3

`js
const ILovePDFApi = require('@ilovepdf/ilovepdf-nodejs');

const instance = new ILovePDFApi('', '');

// Public and secret key can be found in your developer panel
// at https://developer.ilovepdf.com/user/projects .
const task = instance.newTask('merge');

// Promise-based way to use ILovePDFApi.
task.start()
.then(() => {
return task.addFile('');
})
.then(() => {
return task.addFile('');
})
.then(() => {
return task.process();
})
.then(() => {
return task.download();
})
.then((data) => {
console.log('DONE');
});
`

$3

`js
const ILovePDFApi = require('@ilovepdf/ilovepdf-nodejs');
const ILovePDFFile = require('@ilovepdf/ilovepdf-nodejs/ILovePDFFile');

const instance = new ILovePDFApi('', '');

const task = instance.newTask('merge');

task.start()
.then(() => {
const file = new ILovePDFFile('');

return task.addFile(file);
})
.then(() => {
return task.addFile('');
})
.then(() => {
return task.process();
})
.then(() => {
return task.download();
})
.then((data) => {
console.log('DONE');
});
`

$3

Thanks to be a promise-based API it is possible use the await JavaScript operator in order to call Task methods. Here you have an example:

`js
let task = instance.newTask('merge');
await task.start();
await task.addFile('');
await task.addFile('');
await task.process();

const data = await task.download();
`

$3

On upload a file from a local file or URL, you will have access to some PDF information:

`js
const ILovePDFApi = require('@ilovepdf/ilovepdf-nodejs');
const ILovePDFFile = require('@ilovepdf/ilovepdf-nodejs/ILovePDFFile');

const instance = new ILovePDFApi('', '');

const task = instance.newTask('merge');

task.start()
.then(() => {
const file = new ILovePDFFile('');

return task.addFile(file);
})
.then(file1 => {
// Access to PDF information.
// file1.pageNumber
// file1.pageSizes

// File from URL.
return task.addFile('');
})
.then(file2 => {
// Access to PDF information.
// file2.pageNumber
// file2.pageSizes
});
`

$3

Due to this library is limited by number of uses, you can access to the account remaining files:

`js
const task = instance.newTask('merge');
await task.start();
// After start a task, you can access to the remaining files quantity.
// Before, it's undefined.
console.log( task.remainingFiles )
``
