Usage#

1. Prepare your invoice data as JSON:

json

{
  "invoiceNumber": "INV-001",
  "invoiceDate":   "01/06/2026",
  "customerNumber": "CUST-001",
  "dueDate":       "07/06/2026",
  "customerName":  "Acme Corp",
  "customerAddress": "123 High Street\nLondon, EC1 1AB",
  "items": [
    {
      "code": "SVC",
      "description": "Consulting services",
      "qty": "8",
      "net": "2,400.00",
      "vatRate": "20%",
      "vatAmt": "480.00",
      "gross": "2,880.00"
    }
  ],
  "currency": "GBP",
  "entity": "default"
}

2. Run the generator:

bash

node /data/workspace/skills/clawed-invoice/scripts/generate.js \
  --config /data/workspace/skills/clawed-invoice/references/config.json \
  --datafile /path/to/your-invoice.json

3. Output → invoice-INV-001.pdf in /tmp/invoices/ (or your outputDir)

Configuration#

Edit references/config.json to set your company details once — the generator pulls them automatically per invoice:

json

{
  "default": {
    "entity": "Your Company Name Ltd",
    "swift": "XXXXXXXX",
    "iban": "XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX",
    "companyNumber": "XXXXXXX",
    "currency": "GBP",
    "vatRate": "20%"
  }
}

For multiple entities (e.g. UK + EU subsidiaries), add additional keys and select via entity: "eu" in your invoice data.

Dependencies#

Requires jspdf installed at /data/local/node_modules/jspdf
