# URP
[](https://hex.pm/packages/urp)
[](https://hexdocs.pm/urp/readme.html)
Pure Elixir client for the [UNO Remote Protocol](https://wiki.openoffice.org/wiki/Uno/Binary/Spec/Protocol).
Talks directly to a `soffice` process over a TCP socket —
no Python, no wrappers, no sidecars.
## Installation
```elixir
{:urp, "~> 0.8"}
```
## Prerequisites
A running `soffice` with a URP socket listener:
```sh
docker build --tag soffice --file benchmarks/Dockerfile.soffice-debian benchmarks/
docker run --detach --name soffice --publish 2002:2002 soffice
```
## Usage
A default pool connects to `localhost:2002` automatically.
```elixir
# file path, {:binary, bytes}, or any Enumerable as input
{:ok, pdf_path} =
URP.convert("/path/to/input.docx",
filter: "writer_pdf_Export",
filter_data: [Quality: 90, ReduceImageResolution: true, MaxImageResolution: 150]
)
# docx to Markdown, output as binary
{:ok, md} = URP.convert({:binary, docx_bytes}, filter: "Markdown", output: :binary)
{:ok, "26.2.0.3"} = URP.version()
{:ok, filters} = URP.filters()
```
See `URP.convert/2` for all options ([filter names](https://help.libreoffice.org/latest/en-US/text/shared/guide/convertfilters.html),
[FilterData properties](https://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Macros/Python_Guide/PDF_export_filter_data)).
### Configuration
```elixir
# config/runtime.exs
config :urp, :default,
host: "soffice",
port: 2002,
pool_size: 1
```
> #### pool_size {: .warning}
>
> Each connection needs its own soffice instance. With `pool_size: 3`,
> run 3 soffice containers — one per connection. Concurrent operations
> on a single soffice process are not safe.
### Testing
Stub conversions in tests — no running soffice needed. See `URP.Test`.
```elixir
URP.Test.stub(fn _input, _opts -> {:ok, "/tmp/fake.pdf"} end)
assert {:ok, _} = MyApp.generate_invoice(order)
```
### Telemetry
Every operation emits `[:urp, :call, :stop]` with queue, service, and
total time measurements. See `URP.Telemetry`.
## Performance
See [PERFORMANCE.md](PERFORMANCE.md) for benchmarks and container image recommendations.
