 use pdf-lib to fill in pdf template:


export const fillForm = async (pdfDoc: any, fieldNames: string[], fieldValues: string[]) => {

  const form = pdfDoc.context.lookup(pdfDoc.catalog.get(PDFName.of('AcroForm')))

  if (!form) {

    throw new Error('PDF does not contain a form')

  }


  form.set(PDFName.of('NeedAppearances'), PDFBool.True)


  const fieldRefs = form.context.lookup(form.get(PDFName.of('Fields')))

  if (!fieldRefs) {

    throw new Error('PDF form does not contain any fields')

  }


  const fields = fieldRefs.array.map((ref: any) => form.context.lookup(ref))


  fields.forEach((field: any) => {

    const name = field.get(PDFName.of('T'))

    console.log('pdf form fieldName:', name, name.value)

    if (name) {

      const idx = fieldNames.indexOf(name.value)

      const newValue = idx >= 0 ? fieldValues[idx] : '' 

      if (newValue) {

        field.set(PDFName.of('V'), PDFString.of(newValue))

        field.set(PDFName.of('Ff'), PDFNumber.of(1))

      }

    }

  })

}

for loop in javascript - promise - .eslintrc for "for of"

the vast majority of cases  map ,  forEach ,  find  etc. can be used.  async function printFiles () { const files = await getFilePaths(); await Promise.all(files. map (async (file) => { const contents = await fs.readFile(file, 'utf8') console.log(contents) })); } const inventory = [ { name : 'apples' , quantity : 2 } , { name : 'bananas' , quantity : 0 } , { name : 'cherries' , quantity : 5 } ] ; const result = inventory . find ( ( { name } ) => name === 'cherries' ) ;   function getFirstMatching(array) { for (let item of array) { const result = heavyTransform(item); if (result) { return result; } } } Specifically this shuts down the whole no-restricted-syntax. If you want to cherry-pick, here is the current definition: 'no-restricted-syntax' : [ 'error' , { selector : 'ForInStatement' , message...

fs.writeFile - permission issue on GCP (Google Cloud Run)

error on this: fs . writeFile ( fileName , pdfBytes , err => { if ( err ) { console . log ( err . message ) reject ( err . message ) } else resolve ( fileName ) }) #1 It looks like when deployed into Cloud Run it also requires the extra permission "Service Account Token Creator" to run  getSignedUrl . Locally for some reason this role is not required. #2 Only the directory  /tmp  is writable in Cloud Run. So, change the default write location to write into this directory. However, you have to be aware of 2 things: Cloud Run is stateless, that means when a new instance is created, the container start from scratch, with an empty  /tmp  directory /tmp  directory is an in-memory file system. The maximum allowed memory on Cloud Run is 2Gb, your app memory footprint included. In addition of your file and Airflow, not sure that you will have a lot of space. A final remark. Cloud Run is active only when it...
