I am trying to generate pdf from marko file. For handlebars, heres my code:

const template = Handlebars.compile(htmlTemplate);

        const result = template(data);
        // We can use this to add dyamic data to our handlebas template at run time from database or API as per need. you can read the official doc to learn more https://handlebarsjs.com/
        const html = result;

        // we are using headless mode
        const browser = await puppeteer.launch({
            headless: true,
            args: ['--no-sandbox'],
        });

        const page = await browser.newPage();

        // We set the page content as the generated html by handlebars
        await page.setContent(html);

        // we Use pdf function to generate the pdf in the same folder as this file.
        await page.pdf({
            path: 'usage-report.pdf',
            format: 'A4',
            printBackground: true,
            margin: {
                left: '0px',
                top: '0px',
                right: '0px',
                bottom: '0px',
            },
        });
    },

@rubiin with Marko@5 there exists a @marko/compiler package for this. You can see the API definitions in our type definition file (https://github.com/marko-js/marko/blob/master/packages/compiler/index.d.ts).

Having said that your mileage may vary with this since some aspects of Marko expect that it is being compiled within a bundler or nodejs context.
