#### With Newman as a Library
All the CLI functionality is available for programmatic use within a nodejs script.
Creating a very basic nodejs project can be done like this:
- Create a new directory using mkdir
- Move to the new directory using cd
- Create a package.json file using npm init -y
- Install the required node modules using npm i -S newman newman-reporter-htmlextra
- Create a new file and add the script below which contains the current list of reporter options
- Add your collection.json file reference to the script and run using node
Once the node script has run, the report will be created in the default ./newman directory. A new save location can be specified using the export flag.
To enable the functionality of a given feature, uncomment any of the options within the htmlextra object.
`javascript
const newman = require('newman');
newman.run({
collection: './pathToFile/collection.json', // Collection URL from a public link or the Postman API can also be used
reporters: ['htmlextra-extended'],
iterationCount: 1,
reporter: {
"htmlextra-extended": {
// export: './report.html',
// template: './template.hbs'
// logs: true,
// showOnlyFails: true,
// noSyntaxHighlighting: true,
// testPaging: true,
// browserTitle: "My Newman report",
// title: "My Newman Report",
// titleSize: 4,
// omitHeaders: true,
// skipHeaders: "Authorization",
// omitRequestBodies: true,
// omitResponseBodies: true,
// hideRequestBody: ["Login"],
// hideResponseBody: ["Auth Request"],
// showEnvironmentData: true,
// skipEnvironmentVars: ["API_KEY"],
// showGlobalData: true,
// skipGlobalVars: ["API_TOKEN"],
// skipSensitiveData: true,
// showMarkdownLinks: true,
// showFolderDescription: true,
// timezone: "Australia/Sydney",
// skipFolders: "folder name with space,folderWithoutSpace",
// skipRequests: "request name with space,requestNameWithoutSpace",
// displayProgressBar: true,
// iterationNames: ["QA", "Integration"],
//scenarioNumbering: true
}
}
});

#### Running The Reporter With Docker
A docker image dannydainton/htmlextra has been created for the reporter and can be found on Docker Hub
#### Basic Usage
Using this command, it will pull down the image and run the Postman Collection with Newman. Once the run has completed it will create a new report file in the /newman dir.
`console
docker run -t -v $(pwd):/etc/newman dannydainton/htmlextra run collection.json -r htmlextra-extended
`
Using an environment file during the Newman run:
`console
docker run -t -v $(pwd):/etc/newman dannydainton/htmlextra run collection.json -e environment.json -r htmlextra-extended
`
Using either the Shared Collection link from the Postman App or using the Postman API Link to the files:
`console
docker run -t -v $(pwd):/etc/newman dannydainton/htmlextra run -e -r htmlextra-extended
`
Each of these command can be used with the different CLI flags to create the final report that you require.
