Streamline HTML File Merging in Node.js Using Cloud API

Merging multiple HTML files manually can quickly become a bottleneck in your development process. Instead of writing custom scripts to stitch files together, you can use the GroupDocs.Merger Cloud Node.js SDK and get the job done with just a few simple API calls. This Cloud API makes it easy to merge HTML files programmatically, saving time and reducing complexity in your projects.

In the detailed article, you’ll find a hands-on guide that walks you through integrating the Node.js REST API into your applications. The steps cover uploading HTML files, configuring the merge operation, and generating a single, consolidated output. With clear code examples, you can implement this functionality straight into your workflow and start merging files in minutes.

This solution is ideal for developers working on document automation, reporting systems, or content management platforms. By following the tutorial, you’ll not only cut down on repetitive tasks but also improve the reliability of your applications. Take action today—use the GroupDocs.Merger Cloud Node.js SDK to automate HTML file merging and make your Node.js projects more efficient.

Working code example:

// Step 1: Import the GroupDocs.Merger Cloud module
const file_merger = require("groupdocs-merger-cloud");

// Step 2: Define your API credentials
const MyAppKey = "your-app-key";
const MyAppSid = "your-app-sid";

// Step 3: Initialize the DocumentApi with API credentials
const mergerApi = file_merger.DocumentApi.fromKeys(MyAppKey, MyAppSid);

// Step 4: Merge two HTML webpages
(async () => {
    try {

        // Configure the HTML files to merge from cloud storage
        const file1 = new file_merger.JoinItem();
        file1.fileInfo = new file_merger.FileInfo();
        file1.fileInfo.filePath = "SampleFiles/source1.html";

        const file2 = new file_merger.JoinItem();
        file2.fileInfo = new file_merger.FileInfo();
        file2.fileInfo.filePath = "SampleFiles/source2.html";

        // Set up HTML merging options
        const options = new file_merger.JoinOptions();
        options.joinItems = [file1, file2];
        options.outputPath = "merger/merged.html"; // Output file path

        // Create a HTML file joining request
        const request = new file_merger.JoinRequest(options);

        // Execute the HTML file merger
        const response = await mergerApi.join(request);

    } catch (error) {
        console.error("Error during document merger:", error.message);
    }
})();
