Supercharge TXT File Merging in Node.js Using Cloud API

When dealing with several TXT files, it's often necessary to combine their contents into one organized document. Doing this by hand or using custom scripts can be tedious and error-prone. This is where the GroupDocs.Merger Cloud Node.js SDK becomes an essential tool. It allows developers to effortlessly merge TXT files through just a few API calls, supported by a powerful and scalable Cloud API.

In this guide, we will demonstrate how to utilize the Node.js REST API to automate the merging of TXT files. You will find instructions on how to link your application to the GroupDocs Cloud service, upload various TXT files, and consolidate them into a single output. The SDK simplifies the process, enabling developers to concentrate on enhancing features rather than handling low-level file operations.

This method is especially beneficial for applications focused on document automation, reporting systems, or the aggregation of text-based content. By delegating the merging process to the GroupDocs Cloud Node.js SDK, developers can save time, maintain consistency, and enhance the scalability of their solutions. The article provides code samples and comprehensive steps to help you quickly and effectively integrate TXT file merging into your Node.js projects.

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 Text (TXT) Files
(async () => {
    try {

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

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

        // Set up plain-text file merging options
        const options = new file_merger.JoinOptions();
        options.joinItems = [file1, file2];
        options.outputPath = "merger/merged.txt";

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

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

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