Cannot get imageConvert to work

Hi,

I’m trying to get a custom image converter working, but it does not seem to get called. I’m trying to write the image out to a file. If I also change the return src to be “dataxxxxxxxx”, the resulting output still just shows “data:”

Here is my code. Any thoughts would be appreciated.

    var options = {
        path: dir + "/sig.docx",

        convertImage: mammoth.images.inline(function(element) {
          return element.read("base64").then(function(imageBuffer) {

            fs.writeFile(dir + "/image.jpg", imageBuffer, function(err) {
                if(err) {
                    console.log(err);
                } else {
                    console.log("The file was saved!");
                }
            }); 

            return {
                src: "dataxxxxxxx:" + element.contentType + ";base64," + imageBuffer
            };
          });
        })
    };        

    mammoth.convertToHtml(options).....

Thanks Gary.

What was happening was that it was converting the images to base64 and doing it inline, which is great! But I believe we would like to have an option as well to save the images as a file and put it in the directory. I dont think its advisable to base64 all images of a word doc

You can do this using your own image converter. Take a look at the one the CLI uses for an example.
