piral VS WeasyPrint

Piral Framework - Focused on developer experience with features like a visual UI editor, live previews and hot module replacement. Ref - https://piral.io/

Micro-frontend applications have become increasingly popular among developers thanks to their many advantages. It helps create modular and maintainable applications capable of handling complex business needs. As with any technology, implementing micro-frontends poses challenges, such as ensuring consistent APIs. But, with tools like Piral, developers can easily create and scale micro-frontend applications.

Piral: implements isolated components called pilets. Pilets are modules that bundle content and behavior.

I've prepared a demo project on the basis of Piral. The running demo can be found at the Piral samples organization on GitHub. Running the demo locally does not look very spectacular.

For the command line tooling of our micro frontend framework Piral we needed to be sure that it properly runs. This includes

The idea of writing a book about micro frontends was born in mid 2019 when Piral was born out of smapiot's open-source efforts. We've been leading and assisting to micro frontend implementations for a while, and our intention was to put together an (almost) ideal pattern into an open-source framework.

Therefore, for the example, I've picked a rather fancy way to "loosely" get the micro frontends at runtime using a file called feed.json, which is created at build-time using the information which micro frontends (called pilets in this case, because I am using the Piral framework) are actually available. Therefore, just adding, e.g., a third micro frontend easily works without touching the app-shell package.

Is there a reason you didn't consider something like Weasyprint?

I've gone through a number of systems to convert CV's, business cards, and other docs and it hasn't let me down yet.

You don't _have_ to use a browser. I had very good results with Weasyprint [0]. And there's also PrinceXML [1] if you're willing to pay.

Thanks for your answer! I imagined you would be using PrinceXML behind the scenes since that is probably the gold standard in HTML+CSS rendering.

The only open source alternative I know of is WeasyPrint at https://weasyprint.org/. I'm not sure how well it fares against PrinceXML, though.

And thanks for the pointer to Taffy - I didn't know it before!

Flexbox support has been [included][1] since 2018, although my use case was the prototypical one - a single row w/ 3 columns - so YMMV with how it handles more complex layouts.

Performance is not the strength of WeasyPrint, meaning that heavy HTML files will increase generation time. You should always compress images before attaching them, as they are not compressed by default. Generating a 50-page-long PDF may take up to a minute in extreme cases, although multi-page documents generated on my project take fewer than 2 seconds to generate.

For Python there is Weasyprint: you prepare the invoice as an HTML document, and Weasyprint turns it into a PDF

Well yes, but you can implement HTML+CSS. WeasyPrint did from scratch, and independent implementations of HTML+CSS are considerably more numerous than HTML+CSS+JS.

In a recent project I used https://github.com/Kozea/WeasyPrint/ it is written in python, so you will need to use it like so:
