PPT to JSON

This library provides a simple and convenient way to convert PowerPoint (.ppt) files into JSON format. This allows for easy parsing, manipulation, and analysis of slide content.

Installation

To install the ppt-to-json library, use npm:

npm install ppt-to-json

Usage

First, import the PPTtoJSON from ppt-to-json.

const PPTtoJSON = require("ppt-to-json");

Then, call the readPath function with the path to your PowerPoint file.

PPTtoJSON.readPath("./sample.ppt")
  .then((json) => console.log(json))
  .catch((error) => console.error(error.message));

This function will return a Promise that resolves to a JSON object representing the content of the PowerPoint file. If an error occurs while reading the file or converting it to JSON, the Promise will be rejected with an error message.

Resulting JSON structure

The resulting JSON object has a structure that represents the content of the PowerPoint file. Each slide in the file is converted into an object in the JSON array. Each object includes the content of the slide, formatted as a string, along with any additional metadata about the slide.

[
  {
    "slideNumber": 1,
    "title": "Slide 1",
    "content": "This is the content of slide 1."
  },
  {
    "slideNumber": 2,
    "title": "Slide 2",
    "content": "This is the content of slide 2."
  },
  // More slides...
]

Error Handling

If an error occurs while reading the PowerPoint file or converting it to JSON, the Promise will be rejected with an Error. You can handle this using the .catch() method:

PPTtoJSON.readPath("./non_existent.ppt")
  .then((json) => console.log(json))
  .catch((error) => console.error(error.message)); // Will print: Error: File not found: ./non_existent.ppt
