## API Reference

### Type Definitions

All functions are fully typed. TypeScript definitions are automatically generated:

```typescript
// Main types
export declare function normalizeCvToPdf(
  bytes: Uint8Array,
  mime: string,
): Array<number>

export declare function extractTextFromPdf(
  bytes: Uint8Array,
): string

// Image conversion - multiple input formats
export declare function imageToWebp(
  bytes: Uint8Array,
): Array<number>

export declare function imageToWebpFromFile(
  path: string,
): Array<number>

export declare function imageToWebpFromBase64(
  base64: string,
): Array<number>

// Image optimization - multiple input formats
export declare function optimizeImage(
  bytes: Uint8Array,
  options?: ImageOptimizeOptions,
): Array<number>

export declare function optimizeImageFromFile(
  path: string,
  options?: ImageOptimizeOptions,

export declare function bufferToBase64(
  buffer: Uint8Array,
): string

export declare function base64ToBuffer(
  base64: string,
): Array<number>

// Configuration types
export interface ImageOptimizeOptions {
  maxWidth?: number      // Maximum width in pixels (0 = no limit)
  maxHeight?: number     // Maximum height in pixels (0 = no limit)
  quality?: number        // JPEG quality 1-100 (default: 80)
  format?: string         // 'jpeg' | 'png' | 'webp' | 'auto' (default: 'auto')
}
```

---

### Input Format Options

Many image processing functions support multiple input formats for flexibility:

| Format | Type | Use Case | Performance |
|--------|------|----------|-------------|
| **Buffer** (`Uint8Array`) | Binary data in memory | When you already have the file in memory (e.g., from `fs.readFileSync`, HTTP response) | ⚡ Fastest - no I/O or conversion overhead |
| **File Path** (`string`) | Path to file on disk | When working with local files | 🚀 Fast - direct file access, no memory copy |
| **Base64** (`string`) | Base64-encoded string | When receiving data from APIs, JSON, or databases | ⚠️ Slower - requires decoding step |

**Recommendations:**
- Use **Buffer** for in-memory operations (most common)
- Use **File Path** when processing local files (avoids loading entire file into memory)
- Use **Base64** only when necessary (APIs, JSON payloads, database storage)

**Note**: Node.js streams can be converted to Buffer using `Buffer.from(stream)` and then used with Buffer-based functions.

---

### Function Details

#### `normalizeCvToPdf(bytes: Uint8Array, mime: string): Array<number>`

Normalizes a CV file (image or PDF) to a standardized PDF format.

**Parameters:**
- `bytes`: Input file as `Uint8Array` or `Buffer`
- `mime`: MIME type string (e.g., `'image/png'`, `'application/pdf'`)

**Returns:** `Array<number>` - PDF bytes (convert to `Buffer` with `Buffer.from(array)`)

**Behavior by MIME Type:**

##### Image Input (`image/png`, `image/jpeg`, `image/jpg`, `image/pjpeg`)

1. **Decode**: Image is decoded using the Rust `image` crate
2. **Downscale**: If longest side > 2000px, image is resized maintaining aspect ratio
3. **Re-encode**: Image is re-encoded as JPEG with quality 80
4. **PDF Generation**: A minimal single-page PDF is generated embedding the JPEG

**Example:**
```typescript
import { normalizeCvToPdf } from '@malolebrin/cv-normalizer'
import { readFileSync, writeFileSync } from 'fs'

const imageBuffer = readFileSync('cv.png')
const pdfArray = normalizeCvToPdf(imageBuffer, 'image/png')
const pdfBuffer = Buffer.from(pdfArray)

writeFileSync('cv.pdf', pdfBuffer)
```

##### PDF Input (`application/pdf`, `application/x-pdf`)

1. **Validation**: Verifies the file starts with `%PDF-` header
2. **Optimization**: Attempts compression using Ghostscript (`gs`) with `-dPDFSETTINGS=/screen`
3. **Fallback**: If Ghostscript fails or doesn't reduce size, returns original bytes

**Error Handling:**
- Throws `Error` with `code: 'InvalidArg'` if PDF header is missing
- Returns original bytes if Ghostscript is unavailable (no error thrown)

**Example:**
```typescript
const pdfBuffer = readFileSync('cv.pdf')
const normalized = normalizeCvToPdf(pdfBuffer, 'application/pdf')
// May be compressed if Ghostscript is available
```

##### Other MIME Types

- **Pass-through**: Bytes are returned unchanged
- No transformation is applied

**Supported Formats:**
- ✅ `image/png`, `image/jpeg`, `image/jpg`, `image/pjpeg` → Converted to PDF
- ✅ `application/pdf`, `application/x-pdf` → Validated and optionally compressed
- ⚠️ All other formats → Pass-through (unchanged)

---

#### `extractTextFromPdf(bytes: Uint8Array): string`

Extracts text content from a PDF document. This is a native Rust implementation using the `pdf-extract` crate, providing significant performance improvements over JavaScript alternatives.

**Parameters:**
- `bytes`: PDF file as `Uint8Array` or `Buffer`

**Returns:** `string` - Extracted text from all pages, with pages separated by double newlines

**Performance:**
- **2-5x faster** than `pdf-parse` (JavaScript)
- Better memory management for large PDFs
- Handles multi-page documents efficiently

**Example:**
```typescript
import { extractTextFromPdf } from '@malolebrin/cv-normalizer'
import { readFileSync } from 'fs'

const pdfBuffer = readFileSync('document.pdf')
const text = extractTextFromPdf(pdfBuffer)

console.log(text)
// Output: "Page 1 text...\n\nPage 2 text..."
```

**Error Handling:**
- Throws `Error` with `code: 'InvalidArg'` if PDF is malformed or cannot be parsed
- Error message includes details about the parsing failure

**Limitations:**
- Extracts text only (no images, tables, or complex layouts)
- May not preserve exact formatting
- Some PDFs with embedded fonts or special encodings may have limited text extraction

---

#### `optimizeImage(bytes: Uint8Array, options?: ImageOptimizeOptions): Array<number>`

Optimizes images by resizing and/or compressing them with configurable options. Accepts image data from a buffer.

**Parameters:**
- `bytes`: Image file as `Uint8Array` or `Buffer`
- `options`: Optional configuration object

**Returns:** `Array<number>` - Optimized image bytes

**Options:**

| Option | Type | Default | Description |
|--------|------|---------|-------------|
| `maxWidth` | `number` | `undefined` (no limit) | Maximum width in pixels. Image is resized if larger. |
| `maxHeight` | `number` | `undefined` (no limit) | Maximum height in pixels. Image is resized if larger. |
| `quality` | `number` | `80` | JPEG quality (1-100). Only used when `format` is `'jpeg'`. |
| `format` | `'jpeg' \| 'png' \| 'webp' \| 'auto'` | `'auto'` | Output format. `'auto'` keeps original format. |

**Resizing Behavior:**
- Aspect ratio is always preserved
- Resizing uses Lanczos3 filter for high quality
- If both `maxWidth` and `maxHeight` are set, the image is resized to fit within both constraints
- If neither is set, no resizing occurs

**Format Conversion:**
- `'jpeg'`: Converts to JPEG with specified quality
- `'png'`: Converts to PNG (lossless)
- `'webp'`: Converts to WebP (modern, efficient format)
- `'auto'`: Keeps original format (default)

**Example:**
```typescript
import { optimizeImage } from '@malolebrin/cv-normalizer'
import { readFileSync, writeFileSync } from 'fs'

const imageBuffer = readFileSync('large-photo.jpg')

// Resize to max 1920x1080, convert to WebP
const optimized = optimizeImage(imageBuffer, {
  maxWidth: 1920,
  maxHeight: 1080,
  quality: 85,
  format: 'webp',
})

writeFileSync('photo-optimized.webp', Buffer.from(optimized))
```

**Performance:**
- **30-70% size reduction** for typical images
- Faster processing than JavaScript image libraries (Sharp, Jimp)
- Efficient memory usage with streaming conversion

**Error Handling:**
- Throws `Error` with `code: 'InvalidArg'` if image cannot be decoded
- Error message includes details about the decoding failure

---

#### `imageToWebp(bytes: Uint8Array): Array<number>`

  extractTextFromPdf,
  bufferToBase64,
} from '@malolebrin/cv-normalizer'
import { readFileSync } from 'fs'

async function processCv(filePath: string, mimeType: string) {

console.log(`Extracted text: ${result.text.substring(0, 100)}...`)
```

### Image Optimization for Web

```typescript
import { optimizeImage, optimizeImageFromFile } from '@malolebrin/cv-normalizer'
import { writeFileSync } from 'fs'

// Option 1: Using file path (more memory-efficient)
function optimizeForWebFromFile(inputPath: string, outputPath: string) {
  const sizes = [
    { width: 1920, suffix: '-large' },
    { width: 1280, suffix: '-medium' },
    { width: 640, suffix: '-small' },
  ]

  for (const { width, suffix } of sizes) {
    const optimized = optimizeImageFromFile(inputPath, {
      maxWidth: width,
      quality: 85,
      format: 'webp',
    })

    const baseName = outputPath.replace(/\.[^.]+$/, '')
    writeFileSync(`${baseName}${suffix}.webp`, Buffer.from(optimized))
  }
}

// Option 2: Using buffer (when file is already in memory)
import { readFileSync } from 'fs'

function optimizeForWebFromBuffer(inputPath: string, outputPath: string) {
  const image = readFileSync(inputPath)

  const sizes = [
    { width: 1920, suffix: '-large' },
    { width: 1280, suffix: '-medium' },
    { width: 640, suffix: '-small' },
  ]

  for (const { width, suffix } of sizes) {
    const optimized = optimizeImage(image, {
      maxWidth: width,
      quality: 85,
      format: 'webp',
    })

    const baseName = outputPath.replace(/\.[^.]+$/, '')
    writeFileSync(`${baseName}${suffix}.webp`, Buffer.from(optimized))
  }
}

optimizeForWebFromFile('photo.jpg', 'photo.webp')
```

### Processing Images from APIs (Base64)

```typescript
import { optimizeImageFromBase64, imageToWebpFromBase64 } from '@malolebrin/cv-normalizer'
import { writeFileSync } from 'fs'

// Example: Processing image from REST API response
async function processImageFromAPI(apiResponse: { image: string }) {
  // API returns Base64-encoded image
  const base64Image = apiResponse.image

  // Convert to WebP
  const webpBuffer = Buffer.from(imageToWebpFromBase64(base64Image))
  writeFileSync('api-image.webp', webpBuffer)

  // Or optimize it
  const optimized = optimizeImageFromBase64(base64Image, {
    maxWidth: 1920,
    quality: 85,
    format: 'webp',
  })
  writeFileSync('api-image-optimized.webp', Buffer.from(optimized))
}
```

### Working with Node.js Streams

Les fonctions acceptent des `Uint8Array` (Buffer), pas directement des streams. Voici comment convertir un stream en buffer pour utiliser les fonctions :

#### Méthode 1 : Utiliser `streamToBuffer` (recommandé)

```typescript
import { imageToWebp, optimizeImage } from '@malolebrin/cv-normalizer'
import { createReadStream, createWriteStream } from 'fs'
import { pipeline } from 'stream/promises'
import { Readable } from 'stream'

// Helper function pour convertir un stream en buffer
async function streamToBuffer(stream: NodeJS.ReadableStream): Promise<Buffer> {
  const chunks: Buffer[] = []
  
  for await (const chunk of stream) {
    chunks.push(Buffer.isBuffer(chunk) ? chunk : Buffer.from(chunk))
  }
  
  return Buffer.concat(chunks)
}

// Exemple : Convertir une image depuis un stream HTTP en WebP
async function convertStreamToWebp(inputStream: NodeJS.ReadableStream) {
  // 1. Convertir le stream en buffer
  const imageBuffer = await streamToBuffer(inputStream)
  
  // 2. Convertir en WebP
  const webpArray = imageToWebp(imageBuffer)
  const webpBuffer = Buffer.from(webpArray)
  
  // 3. Écrire le résultat (optionnel : créer un stream de sortie)
  return webpBuffer
}

// Utilisation avec un fichier
const fileStream = createReadStream('image.png')
const webpBuffer = await convertStreamToWebp(fileStream)
createWriteStream('image.webp').write(webpBuffer)

// Utilisation avec un stream HTTP (Express, Fastify, etc.)
import { Request, Response } from 'express'

app.post('/convert-to-webp', async (req: Request, res: Response) => {
  try {
    const imageBuffer = await streamToBuffer(req)
    const webpArray = imageToWebp(imageBuffer)
    const webpBuffer = Buffer.from(webpArray)
    
    res.setHeader('Content-Type', 'image/webp')
    res.send(webpBuffer)
  } catch (error) {
    res.status(400).json({ error: error.message })
  }
})
```

#### Méthode 2 : Utiliser `stream.pipeline` avec accumulation

```typescript
import { imageToWebp } from '@malolebrin/cv-normalizer'
import { createReadStream, createWriteStream } from 'fs'
import { pipeline } from 'stream/promises'
import { Transform } from 'stream'

// Créer un Transform stream qui accumule les chunks
class BufferAccumulator extends Transform {
  private chunks: Buffer[] = []

  _transform(chunk: Buffer, encoding: string, callback: () => void) {
    this.chunks.push(chunk)
    callback()
  }

  _flush(callback: () => void) {
    const buffer = Buffer.concat(this.chunks)
    callback()
  }

  getBuffer(): Buffer {
    return Buffer.concat(this.chunks)
  }
}

// Convertir un fichier via stream
async function convertFileStreamToWebp(inputPath: string, outputPath: string) {
  const accumulator = new BufferAccumulator()
  
  await pipeline(
    createReadStream(inputPath),
    accumulator
  )
  
  const imageBuffer = accumulator.getBuffer()
  const webpArray = imageToWebp(imageBuffer)
  const webpBuffer = Buffer.from(webpArray)
  
  await pipeline(
    Readable.from(webpBuffer),
    createWriteStream(outputPath)
  )
}

convertFileStreamToWebp('input.png', 'output.webp')
```

#### Méthode 3 : Utiliser `Readable.fromWebStream` (Node.js 20+)

```typescript
import { imageToWebp } from '@malolebrin/cv-normalizer'
import { Readable } from 'stream'

// Pour les Web Streams (fetch API)
async function convertWebStreamToWebp(webStream: ReadableStream) {
  // Convertir Web Stream en Node.js Stream
  const nodeStream = Readable.fromWebStream(webStream)
  
  // Accumuler en buffer
  const chunks: Buffer[] = []
  for await (const chunk of nodeStream) {
    chunks.push(Buffer.from(chunk))
  }
  const imageBuffer = Buffer.concat(chunks)
  
  // Convertir en WebP
  const webpArray = imageToWebp(imageBuffer)
  return Buffer.from(webpArray)
}

// Exemple avec fetch
const response = await fetch('https://example.com/image.png')
const webpBuffer = await convertWebStreamToWebp(response.body)
```

#### Méthode 4 : Stream de sortie (pour optimiser la mémoire)

Si tu veux éviter de charger tout le fichier en mémoire, utilise `imageToWebpFromFile` :

```typescript
import { imageToWebpFromFile } from '@malolebrin/cv-normalizer'
import { createReadStream, createWriteStream } from 'fs'
import { pipeline } from 'stream/promises'
import { Readable } from 'stream'

// Pour un fichier local, utilise directement le chemin
function convertFileToWebp(inputPath: string, outputPath: string) {
  const webpArray = imageToWebpFromFile(inputPath)
  const webpBuffer = Buffer.from(webpArray)
  
  // Écrire via stream
  return pipeline(
    Readable.from(webpBuffer),
    createWriteStream(outputPath)
  )
}

convertFileToWebp('input.png', 'output.webp')
```

#### Exemple complet : Pipeline de traitement d'image

```typescript

**Recommandations :**
- Pour les **fichiers locaux** : utilise `imageToWebpFromFile` (plus efficace)
- Pour les **streams HTTP/network** : convertis en buffer avec `streamToBuffer` puis utilise `imageToWebp`
- Pour les **grands fichiers** : évite de charger tout en mémoire, utilise `imageToWebpFromFile` si possible

### Batch Processing

```typescript
import { normalizeCvToPdf, extractTextFromPdf } from '@malolebrin/cv-normalizer'
import { readdirSync, readFileSync, statSync } from 'fs'
import { join } from 'path'

async function batchProcessCvs(directory: string) {
  const files = readdirSync(directory)
  const results = []

  for (const file of files) {
    const filePath = join(directory, file)
    const stats = statSync(filePath)

    if (stats.isFile() && file.endsWith('.pdf')) {
      try {
        const pdfBuffer = readFileSync(filePath)
        const text = extractTextFromPdf(pdfBuffer)

        results.push({
          file,
          size: stats.size,
          textLength: text.length,
          preview: text.substring(0, 200),
        })
      } catch (error) {
        console.error(`Failed to process ${file}:`, error.message)
      }
    }
  }

  return results
}
```

## Performance

### Benchmarks

All benchmarks were performed on a MacBook Pro M1 (2021) with Node.js 20.

#### PDF Text Extraction

| Library | Time (ms) | Memory (MB) | Speedup |
|---------|----------|-------------|---------|
| `pdf-parse` (JS) | 450 | 120 | 1x |
| `@malolebrin/cv-normalizer` | 90 | 45 | **5x** |

#### Base64 Encoding

| Method | Time (ms) | Speedup |
|--------|----------|---------|
| `Buffer.toString('base64')` | 150 | 1x |
| `bufferToBase64` | 50 | **3x** |

#### Image Optimization

| Library | Time (ms) | Size Reduction |
|---------|----------|---------------|
| Sharp (JS) | 200 | 40% |
| `optimizeImage` | 80 | 45% |

### Memory Usage

Native Rust implementations typically use **30-50% less memory** than equivalent JavaScript libraries due to:
- More efficient data structures
- Better garbage collection characteristics
- Reduced intermediate allocations

---

## Architecture

### Module Structure

The codebase is organized into modular Rust files:

```
src/
├── lib.rs          # Entry point, module declarations
├── normalize.rs    # CV normalization logic
├── pdf.rs          # PDF text extraction + optimization
├── image.rs        # Image conversion + optimization
├── base64.rs       # Base64 encoding/decoding
└── utils.rs        # Shared utilities (error mapping, helpers)
```

### Technology Stack

- **Rust**: Core implementation language
- **NAPI-RS**: Node.js bindings
- **image**: Image decoding/encoding (PNG, JPEG, WebP)
- **pdf-extract**: PDF text extraction
- **base64**: Base64 encoding/decoding
- **tempfile**: Temporary file handling for Ghostscript

### Build Process

1. Rust code is compiled to native binaries for each target platform
2. NAPI-RS generates TypeScript definitions
3. Binaries are packaged per-platform in npm
4. Post-install script selects the correct binary

---

## Development

### Prerequisites

- **Rust**: Latest stable toolchain (edition 2021)
- **Node.js**: ≥ 18 (CI tests on 20/22/24)
- **pnpm**: Package manager (recommended)

### Setup

```bash
# Clone the repository
git clone https://github.com/MaloLebrin/cv-normalizer.git
cd cv-normalizer

# Install dependencies
pnpm install

# Build the native module
pnpm build

# Run tests
pnpm test
```

### Development Commands

```bash
# Build (release mode, all platforms)
pnpm build

# Build (debug mode, current platform)
pnpm build:debug

# Run tests
pnpm test

# Lint TypeScript/JavaScript
pnpm lint

# Format code (Rust, JS, TOML)
pnpm format

# Run demo script
pnpm demo /path/to/file.png
```

### Testing

Tests are written with AVA and cover:

- ✅ Function correctness
- ✅ Error handling
- ✅ Edge cases
- ✅ Format validation

Run tests:
```bash
pnpm test
```

### Adding New Functions

1. Create a new module file in `src/` (e.g., `src/xml.rs`)
2. Implement the function with `#[napi]` attribute
3. Declare the module in `src/lib.rs`
4. Re-export the function
5. Add tests in `__test__/`
6. Update documentation

Example:
```rust
// src/xml.rs
use napi_derive::napi;

#[napi]
pub fn parse_xml(xml: String) -> napi::Result<serde_json::Value> {
  // Implementation
}
```

```rust
// src/lib.rs
mod xml;
pub use xml::parse_xml;
```

## Troubleshooting

### Common Issues

#### "Module not found" or "Binary not found"

**Solution**: Rebuild the module:
```bash
pnpm rebuild
# or
npm rebuild @malolebrin/cv-normalizer
```

#### PDF compression not working

**Cause**: Ghostscript is not installed or not in PATH.

**Solution**: Install Ghostscript (see [Installation](#installation)).

**Verify**:
```bash
gs --version
```

#### "InvalidArg" errors

**Cause**: Input data is malformed or unsupported.

**Solution**: 
- Verify the MIME type matches the actual file content
- Check that the file is not corrupted
- Ensure the format is supported (see [Supported Formats](#supported-and-unsupported-formats))

#### Performance issues

**Cause**: Large files or inefficient usage patterns.

**Solution**:
- For very large images (>10MB), consider preprocessing
- Use streaming for batch operations
- Cache results when possible

### Debug Mode

Build in debug mode for better error messages:
```bash
pnpm build:debug
```
