Node.js SDK 7.0.0: Async/Await and TypeScript

We have released version 7.0.0 of our Node.js API client library.

New:

• Promises and async/await: Conversion methods return a Promise when called without a callback. Receive the complete output as a Buffer, or await successful completion of a file conversion.
• TypeScript support: Bundled type declarations provide type checking and editor completion.
• ES module imports: Use default or named imports alongside the existing CommonJS require() syntax.
• Output streaming: New Promise-based streaming methods let you process large results without collecting the entire output in memory.

Changed:

• Previously deprecated methods have been removed. Their replacements are documented in the SDK guides.
• SDK errors now extend the native JavaScript Error class.
• The end handler is optional when using conversion callback objects.

Callback-based conversions remain supported. SDK 7 supports Node.js 18 and later and retains zero third-party runtime dependencies.

Install or update with:

npm install pdfcrowd
