This is the code client-side, it's a minimum, complete and verifiable snippet that will allow fellow developers to test this by themselves.
// requires: a string that contains html tags
// returns: a word document that can be downloaded with extension .doc or docx
// @ param cvAsHTML is a string that contains html tags
const preHtml = "<html xmlns:v='urn:schemas-microsoft-com:vml' xmlns:o='urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:office' xmlns:w='urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:word' xmlns='http://www.w3.org/TR/html4/loose.dtd\'><head><meta charset='utf-8'></head><body>";
const postHtml = "</body></html>";
const html = preHtml + cvAsHTML + postHtml;
let filename = "filename";
const blob = new Blob(["\ufeff", html], { type: "application/msword"});
The above snippet works like a charm. Please note that the XML schemas are redundant and actually unnecessary. The doc file would work without them but head and body tags must be present.
For docx files I am unable to download the file. The file appears to be corrupted and after several trials I really do not know what to do. This is the code for docx files:
const preHtml = "<?xml version='1.0' encoding='UTF-8?><html xmlns:v='urn:schemas-microsoft-com:vml' xmlns:o='urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:office' xmlns:w='urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:word' xmlns='http://www.w3.org/TR/html4/loose.dtd\'><head><meta charset='utf-8'></head><body>";
const postHtml = "</body></html>";
const html = preHtml + cvAsHTML + postHtml;
let filename = "filename.docx";
const blob = new Blob(["\ufeff", html], { type: "application/vnd.openxmlformats-officedocument.wordprocessingml.document.main"});
Note: I have changed the MIME type inside the Blob object and tried different other options as well such as application/zip, application/octet-stream etc. with no avail. I have also changed the prehtml variable to include:
<?xml version='1.0' encoding='UTF-8?>
Given I understand that docx files are essentially zipped files containing xml segments...
Would really appreciate any help given.
EDIT: 16-Dec-2019
This is the screenshot I took after the implementation suggested by @dw_:
The implementation using JSZip does not work as expected since:
doc files;
979
docx-preview.js plugin The Word (Docx) file will be displayed (rendered) in Browser using docx-preview. js JavaScript plugin. Note: This library only works for Word 2007 and higher formats (docx) and not the Word 97 – 2003 formats (doc). The following files JavaScript plugin will be used.
.docx is a collection of compressed files, using the simplified, minimal DOCX document as a guideline, I have created a ".zip" file containg the main word/document.xml file and 3 additional required files.
More information on .docx files can be found here: An Informal Introduction to DOCX
