node-latex-compiler

Node.js LaTeX compiler wrapper using Tectonic engine with automatic binary download. Current stable version 1.0.5, actively maintained. Key differentiators: zero system dependencies, cross-platform binary auto-detection (Windows, macOS Intel/ARM, Linux), automatic CTAN package management, multiple I/O formats (file, text, buffer), real-time stdout/stderr streaming, and full TypeScript definitions. Unlike traditional LaTeX distributions (MiKTeX, TeX Live) or other Node wrappers (node-latex, latex-js), this package requires no manual installation of LaTeX binaries and handles platform-specific binaries automatically.
