Merging .docx files

A common requirement is to merge two or more .docx files into one. For that, just call insertDocxSync or insertDocx to append the content of your .docx files.

var builder = require('docx-builder');
var docx = new builder.Document();

//You can also do this asynchronously using the insertDocx method.
docx.insertDocxSync(__dirname+"/test1.docx"); 
docx.insertDocxSync(__dirname+"/test2.docx");
docx.insertDocxSync(__dirname+"/test3.docx");

//SAVING THE DOCX FILE

docx.save(__dirname + "/output.docx", function(err){
	if(err) console.log(err);
});
