I have a string template literal to dynamically create an html file, but if I try to add a link tag with href in the string and run Node to run the code to create the html file, I get a 404 error because it’s trying to call GET on my HTML string while it’s building the file. Is there a way to include the href=”path/to/something” in the string without trying to get it?

Can you show us the code you use to do this?

It was when I added the in the string template element that the node tries to get the styles.css file instead of just writing it to the html document.

const csvFilePath = "csv/FormSubmissions.csv";
const csv = require("csvtojson");

const PdfWriter = require("csv-converter-to-pdf-and-html/modules/PdfWriter");

const path = require("path");
const fs = require("fs");
const fsPromises = fs.promises;

const pdfFilePath = "./Form-Submissions.pdf";

const creatHtmlFile = async (data) => {
  const fileName = "./Form-Submissions.html";
  return await fsPromises.writeFile(fileName, data);
};

// CREATE HTML FROM JSON OBJECT
const createSubmissionHtml = async (JsonObj) => {
  try {
    return `
      
      
          
          
          
          
          
              ${Object.keys(JsonObj).map((key) => {
                let submission = JsonObj[key];
                return `
                  

                    

                      ${Object.entries(submission)
                        .map((entry) => {
                          let listItem;
                          const groups = [
                            "Contact",
                            "Founders",
                            "Progress",
                            "Idea",
                            "Equity",
                            "Legal",
                            "Curious",
                          ];
                          const [prop, value] = entry;
                          const propertyValue = `
${prop}:
${value}
`;
                          const sectionGroup = `
${prop}:
`;

                          groups.includes(prop)
                            ? (listItem = sectionGroup)
                            : (listItem = propertyValue);
                          return listItem;
                        })
                        .join("n")}
                    
                  
                  `;
              })}
          
      
   `;
  } catch (error) {
    console.log(error);
  }
};

csv({
  delimiter: ",",
})
  .fromFile(csvFilePath)
  .then((JsonObj) => createSubmissionHtml(JsonObj))
  .then((html) => {
    creatHtmlFile(html);
    PdfWriter.WritePDF(pdfFilePath, html);
  })
  .catch((err) => err.message);

There’s nothing obvious that I can see that would cause Node to do this.

Unfortunately, in the code you posted, there are a few puzzle pieces that I don’t have access to (e.g. FormSubmissions.csv).

Could you:

• remove all superfluous steps (e.g. PDF generation is probably irrelevant to the problem to be solved)
• hardcode any missing values ​​in the code (e.g. the CSV file can probably be replaced with a hardcoded file JsonObj variable)
• Posting enough code that I can reproduce the problem on my PC.

If you can do that, I don’t mind taking a look and helping you figure out why this behavior is happening.
