mpp to html

Convert MS Project (MPP) File to HTML using Node.js.

In modern project management, smooth collaboration and accessibility are key. While Microsoft Project (MPP) files are central to project planning, sharing them across teams can be limiting. Converting MPP to HTML makes it easier to distribute, view, and interact with project data online. This article walks you through converting MPP to HTML using the Aspose.Tasks Cloud SDK for Node.js.

Node.js SDK for MPP to HTML Conversion

Aspose.Tasks Cloud SDK for Node.js provides a robust API for managing and converting Microsoft Project files. One of its powerful features is the ability to convert MPP files into interactive HTML pages—perfect for sharing progress updates and project views online.

To get started:

  1. Install the SDK via npm:
npm install aspose-tasks-cloud
  1. Create a free account and get your client credentials from the Cloud dashboard. For further information, you may consider following the instructions specified in this article.

Convert MPP to HTML with Node.js

Here’s a sample Node.js code snippet to convert an MPP file to HTML format:

  1. Create an object of TasksApi class while passing client credentials as input arguments.
const tasksApi = new TasksApi({ clientId, clientSecret });
  1. Create an instance of GetTaskDocumentWithFormatRequest where we define the name of input MPP file and required output format.
const request = new GetTaskDocumentWithFormatRequest({ ... });
  1. Now call the getTaskDocumentWithFormat(...) method to perform MPP to HTML conversion.
tasksApi.getTaskDocumentWithFormat(request)

Export MPP to HTML using cURL

Another approach for converting an MPP to HTML is through the help of cURL commands. As Aspose.Tasks Cloud is a versatile solution for managing Microsoft Project (MPP) files, it also provides the flexibility to export MPP to HTML using cURL commands. Let’s further explore this feature to simplify the transformation of MPP files into web-friendly HTML format.

Step 1: Generate Access Token

Firstly, we need to generate a JWT access token using the following command:

curl -v "https://api.aspose.cloud/connect/token" \
 -X POST \
 -d "grant_type=client_credentials&client_id=CLIENT_ID&client_secret=CLIENT_SECRET" \
 -H "Content-Type: application/x-www-form-urlencoded" \
 -H "Accept: application/json"

Step 2: Convert MPP to HTML

Now execute the following command to export MS Project (MPP) file to HTML format.

curl -X GET "https://api.aspose.cloud/v3.0/tasks/{sourceFile}/format?format=html&returnAsZipArchive=false" \
-H "accept: multipart/form-data" \
-H "authorization: Bearer <JWT_Token>" \
-o resultant.html

Replace:

  • sourceFile with the name of your MPP file stored in cloud
  • <JWT_Token> with the token received in step 1
