cannot initialize using node

[danidev]

hello,
I'm using PptxGenJS on a node/express application.
If I use
var pptx = require('pptxgenjs');
in several requests, the ppt is not initialized and adds slides on the same instance.
I saw that in client is possible using new keyword on every instance.
I cannot use the constructor, this doesn't work:
var pptxInstance = new pptx();
How can I create a new instance on every request?
Thanks,
Daniele

Hi @danidev ,

There's a section in the README that points to Issue #83. Check there to see what the current status of this is.

thanks @gitbrent
I've found the work-around and I did what suggested by the thread:

var pptxgenjs = require('pptxgenjs');
var pptx = new pptxgenjs.constructor();

Anyway I think it will be better having an initialization function.
if it is a singleton as I read somewhere, it could be an initialize() function without calling the constructor that breaks the pattern usage.
If it is a "static" class, could be a getNewInstance() that return a new object without calling explicitly the constructor.

Thanks for the feedback @danidev !

Version 2.0 will expose the library in the standard Node fashion and won't require and work-arounds.
