Is this made to work on a browser? #83

Only found Express references, but I'm wondering if this can work on a web browser. I read a browser exporter is in progress but is it currently possible to use it in a web browser and just get the binary output from the document ?

dolanmiu commented 6 years ago

Nope, it is not supposed to work in the browser because the dependency archiver is only supported in node

That is the single limiting factor

Is it possible to use BrowserFS as a fill in replacement for grateful fs so this package could be used in browser? Then possibly docx library could use this for generating documents in the browser store for browser generation of files..

I will look into it

it will require some work as archiver uses fs.

docx itself does not use fs

So I would need to kindly ask the archiver people, or use a different library
