does this library supports ePub3? I'm looking for javascript library that supports SMIL based read aloud or known as media ovberlays.

• The type definition epub.d.ts contains /// <reference path="../node/node.d.ts" />, but that won't exist if installing normally via npm. /// <reference types="node" /> would work better. Note there should also be a dependency on the npm package @types/node or that won't work either.
• Instead of declare module "epub" { ... }, it would be better to write everything directly at the top-level (by simply removing that wrapper) so this file can be imported.

epub.getFile(epub.manifest.style.href, function (err, data, mimeType) {
  if (err) throw err;
  console.log(data);
});

returns file not found. What am I doing wrong?

I've also tried messing around with unzipping it but i keep failing on that end too.

npm install also installs optional dependencies, zipfile in case of epub package. I suggest moving it to peerDependencies.

At the moment node-gyp is called to compile zipfile on macOS Catalina, Node 13/14, fails, and prints a huge error stack in the log. Every time I call npm install. It can be fixed with npm set optional false, but...

I'm running your project's example.js and I'm getting this error. Do I have to make a directory for images and content to be put on, or what? I don't really get what is the role of the rootfiles

The following ternary (lines 529-530 of epub.js) defines title as an empty string even when the given TOC title is truthy:

title = branch[i].navLabel && branch[i].navLabel.text || branch[i].navLabel===branch[i].navLabel ? '' : (branch[i].navLabel && branch[i].navLabel.text || branch[i].navLabel || "").trim();

Unless I'm mistaken, the solution is a simple matter of switching the expressions like so:

title = branch[i].navLabel && branch[i].navLabel.text || branch[i].navLabel===branch[i].navLabel ? (branch[i].navLabel && branch[i].navLabel.text || branch[i].navLabel || '').trim() : '';

Also, license problems:

https://github.com/cthackers/adm-zip version you are using has GPL-2 and MIT conflict.

For example fs: readFile, etc.

I dont know if im doing something wrong, but when i try to load a file

var EPub = require("epub");
    var epub = new EPub('EPUBFILE', '/images/IMG_ID/IMG_FILENAME', '/chapters/');

    epub.on("end", function(){
        // epub is now usable

                epub.getFile("coverstyle", function(error, data, mimeType){

                    console.log(error);
                    console.log(data);


                });

                res.send('done')

    });

Nothing works, it hangs forever.

Hi.

In a nutshell, I need to get the images of the books inside the contents.

Having the src attribute, get the image in base64, buffer it in a image/*, and set the src of the image with the new URL.

How can I do that?

Hi, I've been creating some ePub files with calibre, and have been reading the metadata of them using your ePub node module. It works great, but with a couple of files it throws exceptions (see stacktrace below).

The files aren't public domain, so i can't attach them, but i can email them to you if you'd like.

Here is the stacktrace:

As far as I know, this thing is a ePub parser. is it right?

Hi,

This project is incredibly useful and very easy to use.

I was gonna try to wrap the Calibre command line tool ebook-meta but having a pure Node.js implementation is way better.

In your opinion, how hard would it be to support other ebooks format?
I am particularly interested in the metadata and not so much in the content itself.

Thanks

The latest release is from 2015 and contains breaking bugs that have since been fixed (for example the crash when navLabel text isnt a string). Could a new release be made, so npm users don't run into these issues?

npm install epub --no-optional downloads the tag v0.1.5.

please publish a version with 87388fd (Fixup)

thx, great work

Hai,

I have tried your file ,but it shows me an error as require is undefined in example.js.can u provide me some ideas to overcome this issue.Thanks in advance.

Greetings, I want to congratulate you, because your project is very usefull, I just want to know why the images are not loaded in the getChapter function?

On nodejs >= 6.4 zipfile lib break install.

For a working version i removed zipfile as dependance!!

Hi,

Would you be willing to accept a PR upgrading xml2js? Semantics have changed and I find it strenuous to refer to an old version of the documentation.

Cheers!

util.isFunction doesn't exist:

I use the code https://github.com/julien-c/epub/blob/master/example/example.js in my project

var EPub = require("epub");

var epub = new EPub("./111.epub", "/imagewebroot/", "/articlewebroot/");
epub.on("error", function(err){
    console.log("ERROR\n-----");
    throw err;
});

I am currently refactoring the whole lib to add callbacks.
One big benefit of this the the methods are now decoupled (getMimeType does not call getRootFiles...)

I have done this to be able to unit test one method (preparation for the xml2js option update).

Please have a look at mawi12345@a20e6fd and let me know what you think about the changes.
