@node-escpos



πŸ–¨οΈ ESC/POS Printer driver for Node.js.


Hacktober Badge


demo.mp4

[πŸ“’ RFC] Recently I'm working on a new workflow that prints the receipt. HTML+CSS will customize the content. Theoretically, we can print anything that we want. The workflow is like this:

  1. 🎨 rendering
<div id="label-dom"> Label/Receipt </div>
  1. πŸ“Έ capturing
const screenshort = await capture(document.getElementByID("label-dom"))
  1. 🧾 printing
const printer = await printer.image(screenshort, "s8")
printer.cut().close()

But my full-time job is very busy. So the progress is slow, And any sponsorship will encourage me to work more actively in the open-source community.


Improvements

  • πŸ›  TypeScript.
  • πŸ“¦ pnpm.
  • 🟒 vitest.
  • πŸš€ More stable maintenance.
  • πŸ”΄ Printing by HTML+CSS(WIP).
  • πŸ’‘ More ideas.
  • ...

Packages

Example

import { Printer, Image } from "@node-escpos/core";
// install escpos-usb adapter module manually
import USB from "@node-escpos/usb-adapter";
// Select the adapter based on your printer type
import { join } from "path";

const device = new USB();

device.open(async function(err){
  if(err){
    // handle error
    return
  }

  // encoding is optional
  const options = { encoding: "GB18030" /* default */ }
  let printer = new Printer(device, options);

  // Path to png image
  const filePath = join("/PATH/TO/IMAGE");
  const image = await Image.load(filePath);

  printer
    .font("a")
    .align("ct")
    .style("bu")
    .size(1, 1)
    .text("May the gold fill your pocket")
    .text("ζ­ε–œε‘θ΄’")
    .barcode(112233445566, "EAN13", { width: 50, height: 50 })
    .table(["One", "Two", "Three"])
    .tableCustom(
      [
        { text: "Left", align: "LEFT", width: 0.33, style: "B" },
        { text: "Center", align: "CENTER", width: 0.33 },
        { text: "Right", align: "RIGHT", width: 0.33 },
      ],
      { encoding: "cp857", size: [1, 1] }, // Optional
    )
    
  // inject qrimage to printer
  printer = await printer.qrimage("https://github.com/node-escpos/driver")
  // inject image to printer
  printer = await printer.image(
    image, 
    "s8" // changing with image
  )

  printer
    .cut()
    .close()
});
