Core library install

For a TSX authoring project with live preview and AI editing, use

the presentation project setup guide. Installing the core library alone does not install the DSL or CLI.

@office-kit/pptx ships as ESM-only. Pick the entry that matches your runtime.

Package install

pnpm add @office-kit/pptx
# or
npm install @office-kit/pptx
# or
bun add @office-kit/pptx

Requires Node >= 22.18 for the built-in Web Streams, Blob, and fetch globals. Modern browsers (current and current-1 of Chromium, Firefox, Safari) work with the default entry — no Node built-ins are pulled in.

Subpath entries

Import	Use case
`@office-kit/pptx`	Full library: load / save, slides, shapes, charts, tables, comments, themes. Runs in Node and the browser.
`@office-kit/pptx/node`	Adds `loadPresentationFile` / `savePresentationToFile` on top of the full lib. Node-only.

Bundle budgets, unminified:

Minimal loadPresentation → savePresentation: ~61 KB
Full fn-API (every export imported): ~122 KB

All exports are side-effect-free ("sideEffects": false), so unused chart / table / animation code drops out under any modern bundler. A CI test guards the bundle ceiling.

TypeScript

Types are bundled. tsconfig.json should have "moduleResolution": "bundler" (or "node16" / "nodenext") so the @office-kit/pptx/node subpath resolves.

{
  "compilerOptions": {
    "target": "ES2022",
    "module": "ESNext",
    "moduleResolution": "bundler",
    "strict": true
  }
}

What’s not in the box (yet)

New theme / master / layout authoring from scratch — at 1.0 you can author slides on top of any layout in your template, but constructing a fresh master and theme is post-1.0.
SmartArt authoring — preserved verbatim on round-trip but not synthesizable.
Complex animation timing-tree authoring — all 95 entrance / exit / emphasis gallery presets (fadeIn, flyIn, pulse, fadeOut, …) are exposed; deeper timing trees are deferred.
Document encryption (read + write) — encrypted .pptx files are detected and rejected with a clear error.
