Server-side or front-end PDF using Server Connect?

Can I create a list based on linked server or server workflow?
I know you have the PDF of wappler, but I don't have the data in a list on the front and I may need a lot of data. how to do?

Thanks

Hello @Ewerton_Luiz_Oliveir

Not for the moment, but you can use base64 and do some work on the serverside:

And use:

Using this with sendgrid api and having no issues so far..

Also you can check some great extensions:

Sorry for the delay in your response.

I really need something similar to what you have. In my case, it is to get sales data, such as buyer name, amount paid, name of the item purchased...

I tried to follow the tutorials, but I couldn't make any progress. The module is installed, but I could not solve the problem below

{"status":"500","code":"MODULE_NOT_FOUND","message":"Cannot find module 'puppeteer'\nRequires stack:\n- /opt/node_app/extensions/server_connect/modules/HtmlToPDF.js\n- /opt/node_app/lib/core/app.js\n- /opt/node_app/lib/core/middleware.js\n- /opt/node_app/lib/setup/routes.js\n- /opt/node_app/lib/server.js\n- /opt/node_app/index.js","stack":"Error: Cannot find module 'puppeteer'\nRequires stack:\n- /opt/node_app/extensions/server_connect/modules/HtmlToPDF.js\n- /opt/node_app/lib/core/app.js\n- /opt/node_app/lib/core/middleware.js\n- /opt/node_app/lib/setup/routes.js\n- /opt/node_app/lib/server.js\n- /opt/node_app/index.js\n in Function._resolveFilename (node:internal/modules/cjs/loader:1225:15)\n in Function._load (node:internal/modules/cjs/loader:1055:27)\n in TracingChannel.traceSync (node:diagnostics_channel:322:14)\n in wrapModuleLoad (node:internal/modules/cjs/loader:220:24)\n in Module.require (node:internal/modules/cjs/loader:1311:12)\n in require (node:internal/modules/helpers:136:16)\n in Object.

My knowledge is not advanced and I won't be able to do this alone. But I really appreciate the help

You need to install puppeteer, try v5 which works for me with npm install puppeteer@5 if you're not on localhost remember to upload package.json and do npm install on your server too..

I didn't understand how to upload package.json. I'm using Docker

Sorry, I don't use docker, but you can take a look at sid's topic where they talk about it: https://community.wappler.io/t/html-to-pdf-action-nodejs-php-open-source/29626
