Hello,
i'm very interested to put this library into our inhouse management software, but before we decide to go ahead and buy a license we'd like to get some basic tests working.

this is the word template:

and this is the result:

• there are a total of 7 data rows in the data model (see counter in the table header) but only 5 show up in the resulting table. the remaining two have no "findings" in their linked list. but why is the entire table row gone because of this?
• for data row chk-135 and chk-132, for some reason the ".Count" function produces zero, while there is clearly a value in their linked list (FND-102 and FND-95)
• i added a manually calculated field to make the error more visible

here's the simplified data model:

    public class ReportingRootObject
    {
        public Reporting_PlaceholderData Data;
        public List<Reporting_ScopeContainerChecks> checksInScope { get; set; }
    }
    public class Reporting_ScopeContainerChecks
    {
        public string scopeName;
        public List<Reporting_CheckInScope> scopeData { get; set; }
    }
    public class Reporting_CheckInScope
    {
        public string group;
        public string category;
        public string id;
        public string title;
        public string reasoning;
        public List<string> referenceUrls;
        public List<string> referenceUrlsMitre;
        public int rating;
        public int findingsCount;
        public List<Reporting_CheckTask> checkTasks { get; set; }
        public List<Reporting_Finding> findings { get; set; }
        public List<Reporting_Measure> measures { get; set; }
    }

and here's the debugger, to prove the data model is correct:

edit:
just remembered, this project is on .net 5 rc2. is this supported?

Hello,
I want the table to be deleted from document when there is no data inside.
Normally, when there are no records, Templater generates table with header only.
I want Templater to remove header also, I was trying to achieve this in a few ways.
In user manual I found section "Removing a table". I putted collapse and hide metadata into header like it's described in user manual, but it gave no result. Then, I was trying to implement method similar to CollapseNonEmpty in wordtables example. After many tries I'm getting a lot of weird results. I don't exactly understand how Templater process data and what is current "context" when it's processing. I don't want to write all my observations and conjectures, but I've putted many breakpoints and spent many hours to understand Templater logic, but unfortunately I can't figure it enough modify this to my purposes.

I attach template and example data (in JSON for clearness) to show data structure.

Please, could you provide me solution or help to make solution for this problem? I don't have any other ideas. For now Templater is still almost like black box for me and I need help from creators.
Thanks a lot.

The TemplateServer doesn't support CORS. I added following lines in Startup.cs

        public void ConfigureServices(IServiceCollection services)
        {
            services.AddCors(options =>
             {
                 options.AddDefaultPolicy(
                     policy =>
                     {
                         policy
                         .WithOrigins("http://localhost:3000", "http://localhost:3001")
                         .AllowAnyHeader()
                         .AllowAnyMethod();
                     });
             });
            services.AddMvc(options => options.EnableEndpointRouting = false);
        }

        public void Configure(IApplicationBuilder app, IHostingEnvironment env)
        {
            app.UseCors();
            app.UseMvc();
        }

It works well on Windows, but it dosn't works as expected in Docker container.
Then I tried to run modified TemplateServer in Docker container with the following Dockerfile:

FROM mcr.microsoft.com/dotnet/sdk AS build

# copy csproj and restore as distinct layers
WORKDIR /source
COPY TemplaterServer.sln .
COPY Advanced/TemplaterServer/*.csproj ./Advanced/TemplaterServer/
RUN dotnet restore

# copy everything else and build app

COPY Advanced/TemplaterServer/. ./Advanced/TemplaterServer/
WORKDIR /source/Advanced/TemplaterServer
#RUN dotnet publish -c release -o /app --no-restore
RUN dotnet publish -c release -o /app

# final stage/image

FROM mcr.microsoft.com/dotnet/aspnet
WORKDIR /app
COPY --from=build /app ./
COPY dotnet-install.sh ./
RUN apt update && apt upgrade
RUN yes | apt install curl
RUN yes | apt install libc6-dev
RUN yes | apt install libgdiplus
RUN ./dotnet-install.sh --architecture x64 --install-dir /usr/share/dotnet/ --runtime aspnetcore --version 3.1.0
ENTRYPOINT ["dotnet", "TemplaterServer.dll"]

docker build --pull -t templateserver .
docker run --rm -it -p 8000:80 templateserver

It runs successfully, but CORS doesn't work. Also there is issues in the interface of the web-page. It doesn't switch between json examples and doesn't process the templates.

What might be the reason of that?
Is the way to add CORS support in java version of the TemplateServer?

There'is a sample using a two-columns list in DOCX?

Hello,

before purchasing, I need to know, if the CollapseRegion sample would also work for PowerPoint presentations?

Thanks
Thomas

When we use the collapse tag if computed as true the tag disappears but the newline space stays.

currently it shows like this

I want to remove the space. Because it's adding up.

I developed a custom convert to allow an html from an external data source to be converted within the docx document managed by templater. Within my HTML are images encoded in Base64 format. The procedure is abuonly successful if the HTML contains no images. What can I use to include html in a templater tag? Thank you.

Hello.
We have a data structure like this one:

{
  [ MyCompany: {
      [ Name: string,
        Address: string
       ]},
    Fiscal: List({
      [ Number: int,
       TotalValue: decimal,
       Item: List({
               [ Code: string,
                 Value: decimal
                ]})
      ]})
]}

If creating a model where there is multiple Fiscal and just one MyCompany the tags inside MyCompany doesn't repeat in the rest of the report.

Attached are the example, result and desired result.

I purchased the Templater Solo Developer v7.x license, but the trial text is still present in some places in the generated docx document. I correctly integrated the templater.lic file received with the invoice. How can I fix this? Thank you very much.

I am development a new report that contains Stacked bar, the issue which I am facing is the bar does not render automatically unless do Edit Data, the stacked bar contains 3 columns (list of project(name), start date(date), finish date(date), and calculated duration.

Json file is attached.
any assistance!
Json.txt

Is there a way to do [[tag1]] + [[tag2]] or [[tag1]] - [[tag2]]? in ms word?

Using the low level API, how can you tell if a tag is on a fixed part of the page or the first (template) part of a resizable collection?

I understand that on the resized parts themselves you can check the metadata for _ci:r:_ci:r:#-# codes, however it is not clear how you distinguish between zero, one or more fixed tags and the first (template) tag of a resized set.

Thanks, Paul

Hi,

Is it possible to supply Templater with a single collection of data, e.g.:

[{"type": "something"
"collection": [{"data": "data" ...} ...]
"count": 2}
{"type": "something else"
"collection": [{"other data": "other data" ...} ...]
"count": 4}
...
]

Then have this data shown in a pie chart on the first page, using the "type" and "count" and then a page for each, showing the "type" as a header and the "collection" in a table?

Originally I was hoping that we could get away without the "count" and use Excel to count the records in the collection, but Excel wouldn't allow that (is that possible?)

Ideally I don't want to change the data structure unless it's not possible to achieve via the template. I have attached a test docx and json (renamed .txt as GitHub won't allow json uploads), please note the attribute names are slightly different, I changed them above to make the intention clearer.

Hello!
We are currently testing Templater, and I'm trying to find how to specify default formats of dates and numbers, so I don't need to write this:
[[Statement.Date]:format(dd.MM.yyyy)]
for every DateTime field in template.

I want to write this:
[[Statement.Date]:format ()]
and somehow be able to specify default format once for all template. Is this possible?

Thanks.

Hello..
I have a report that has a Stacked Bar depending on dates and values. When I pass data as list of object to the ms word report. the Stacked Bar chart does not render correctly until I open the word file and open edit data, then the chart appear correctly.

Hi,

I am trying to take a JSON document, like:

{"departments" [{"id" "2",
                 "name" "Sales",
                 "_subs" {"id" "1",
                          "name" "Acme"}}
               {"id" "3",
                "name" "Support",
                "_subs" {"id" "1",
                         "name" "Acme"}}]}

And process it through an IFormatter plugin, with a tag like [[departments]:department]

The plugin takes the collection and returns a new collection where the value has been re-written as

["Acme/Sales" "Acme/Support"]

This works correctly, however, when I place the tag in a table or a list, instead of putting each department in a new row or a new bullet point, it displays it as above in a single cell/point.

Does the data have to be returned from the plugin with a specific type to correctly resize the table/list?

I'm using Clojure but can provide a code sample of my plugin if it will help.

Many thanks,

Paul

Hi,

I'm facing a problem. I need to collapse a table's row when the data of this row is null or empty.

I tried to search for this information but i didn't find it.

I saw that you can collapse a block when the value is null but Is it possible to achieve this with a row in a table ?

Thank you for your help.

Hello,

I have a complex docx template that runs against a 5,4mb Json data and the "process" method takes more than 2 minutes to generate this report, time that does not match with my application requirements. I'm attaching a zip with the Json (I ran the lib with a Map<String, Object>, converted to this Json and then removed sensitive data from it)
I'm using templater version 5.2.0 and java 16.

Is there any way to try to improve this performance?

Hi,

I'm currently reviewing Templater for inclusion in a Clojure project I am developing. For the most part it works really well out-the-box. However, Clojure's attribute naming is different to Java's and our users will be expecting to use the Clojure syntax not Java's. For example, a Clojure attribute, could be "some.dotted/attribute" or "some.more.dotted/attribute".  It is the dots in the namespace that is going to cause the confusion as they are also what it used to descend into nested values in Templater.

While, your system still functions as expected with the Clojure attribute names, it is confusing to the Document designer, i.e. "[[some.nested/collection.some.nested/value]]" it is unclear what is attribute and what is delimiting descending into the nested collection. It should be noted that attributes like "some.nested/value.attr" are also perfectly valid in Clojure, however as a convention dots aren't used after the slash.

So, is it possible to change the dot used to delimit descending into a nested value to another character, e.g. a colon ":"?

Many thanks,

Paul

Input:

• pptx template document with tag {{tag}}
• data to replace the tag with value "text before line break \n text after line break"

Expected output:

• pptx doc with 2 lines:
  text before line break
  text after line break

Real output:

• pptx doc has only the first line:
  text before line break

Looking into pptx doc internals it's seen that the second line is rendered improperly and nested into the first one

dt1.Columns.Add("Column2");

var dt1row = dt1.NewRow();
dt1row["Column1"] = 100;

ds.Tables.Add(dt1);
ds.Tables.Add(dt2);

using var inputFileStream = new FileStream("template.docx", FileMode.Open);
using var outputFileStream = new FileStream("result.docx", FileMode.Create);
using var templateDocument = Configuration.Builder.Build().Open(inputFileStream, outputFileStream, "docx");

templateDocument.Process(ds);

My template:

[[Column1]] [[Column2]]

And in the result docx file I always get 100 and 200 values from the first table. I want to be able to choose a specific table while export, like that:

[[Table1.Column1]] [[Table2.Column1]]

How can I achieve that?

}

documents property is a IDictionary type (C#)
As you can see the first item of the onSigners collection doesn't has any documents

Finally I've tried wrap it in tables but it changed nothing.

I would appreciate any suggestions
Thanks

Templater gives an unexpected result for the following docx template
Page per entry test: {{collection.name}} {{collection.value}} {{collection.values.id}}
and json input
{ "collection": [ { "name" : "one", "value": "value one", "values": [{"id": "value one nested array1"}, {"id": "value one nested array2"}] },{ "name" : "two", "value": "value two", "values": [{"id": "value two nested array1"}, {"id": "value two nested array2"}] },{ "name" : "three", "value": "value three", "values": [{"id": "value three nested array1"}, {"id": "value three nested array2"}] },{ "name" : "four", "value": "value four", "values": [{"id": "value four nested array1"}] } ] }
Expectation for the output file is to get a page per each collection.values.id in a parent context that is totally 7 pages. The real output has 10 pages and context is mixed. For instance, 'value one nested array2' is output in a context of item 'two'.

Hello.

Consider this template part:

"Template content before tag
Some text, some text before tag1 [[SomeObject.SomeProp1]:hide] some text after tag1 [[SomeObject.SomeProp2]] some text after tag2
Template content after tag"

How can I achieve this: when [[SomeObject.SomeProp]:hide] tag is hidden I want result to look like:
"Template content before tag
Some text, value of SomeObject.SomeProp2 some text after tag2
Template content after tag"

In other words - how to mark some part of template as belonging to tag so it will be hidden or visible according to tag visibility?

I've found this sample: https://github.com/ngs-doo/TemplaterExamples/tree/master/Intermediate/CollapseRegion but there are whole rows removed on collapse of corresponding tag.

Thanks.

Hi,

I have this table that dynamically resize for the columns, group cells and group rows

All my data shows up fine except that the whole table is squeezed to the left and the row for the group name and group cells do not line up to the rest of the table

Template: GenericGridTemplater.docx
JSON: StockValuationGridJson.txt

I have this CSV template where I want a horizontal resize for 3 columns (Line number, Stock item, Qty) by order lines

The horizontal resize is not working and the result shows all order lines in separate rows instead of columns.

CSV template: InvoiceTest.csv
Test data: InvoiceJson.txt
Result: Result.csv

Also,
Is it possible to have a horizontal resize for a group of columns?
Instead of having all Line Number columns together, then the Stock Item columns, then Quantity columns.

I would like to have a set of columns for each order line.

Hello, thanks for response to #11. It worked fine, but for some reason same solution doesn't work with attached template. I have tried multilevel list and separate tables, but every time I get similar output with continuous numeration (attached example). Could you please explain in a bit more details how lists are being handled by templater, so I wouldn't bother you anymore with same question?

template.docx
output.docx

I've read User's manual and found no section describing full lis of built-in formatters,processors, etc. with description of their arguments and so on. Then I found README.txt file but it seems not complete and lacking of details. For example in Collapse example template I can see functions collapseIf and collapseNonEmpty, which are not described anywhere in manual or readme file.

Hi,

i have a problem with a diagram. The diagram is placed under a list with some columns (so place diagram at the right side of list is not possible) and some rows. When i generate the report with the templater library it adds the rows but the diagram is not moving down so it is placed over the rows.
Also the data area of the diagram is not moving down. The data area is a second list under the first list.
Here is my ReportTemplate i am using:
DelayTimeTemplate.xlsx

Do i am something wrong or, missing some setting or anything?

I am processing reports, which must be "complete". Complete means, that all tags must be replaced with a valid value. I achieve this by reading the remaining tags raising an exception if the template still contains tags after processing.

During testing, I have noticed that Templater replaces (collapses) tags with empty String, if the property in the input object exists, but has value null.

I failed to find examples or documentation on how to change this default behavior. I want to configure Templater such that, if a property has value null (which means "missing value" in my context), it does not process the tag. I still want to use [[thisTagMayBeNull]:empty(Value Missing)] in places, where I expect null values. But I want the default to leave the tag alone, if there's no value.

Can you provide (or point me to) a Java example or the relevant documentation on how to achieve this?
Thank you very much.

Hi,

I am trying to implement onUnprocessed but I do not understand the example code.

ITemplateDocument doc = Configuration.builder().onUnprocessed((prefix, templater, tags, value) -> { ... }).build().open(templateStream, "docx", fos);

It looks like you are simply creating an in-line function in onUnprocessed, however when I try and reproduce that in Clojure I get a NullPointerException.

Is there anything special about that Java syntax?

Also, is this where I would clear missing markers, e.g.

ITemplateDocument doc = Configuration.builder().onUnprocessed((prefix, templater, tags, value) -> { for (String t : tags) { templater.replace(t, ""); } }).build().open(templateStream, "docx", fos);

So any marker not in the processed data would get replaced with an empty string?

Many thanks,

Paul

Just ran into a situation where i believe the existing image replacement is replacing all images with the last image in the document despite them having different tags and images.

Repro:

1. Create data supporting two images [[Image1]], [[Image2]]
2. Add an image to template from any image source.
3. Update image alt text to match the first image [[Image1]]
4. Copy the image in the template
5. Update the alt text to the second image [[Image2]]
6. Process

Result:
Both images are [[Image2]]

Expected:
First image [[Image1]] second image [[Image2]].

Example Repo:
TemplaterPictureBox.zip

I think it's the copying of the image in the template that is causing the issue - however i think this will be a common use case when designing templates.

Cheers

How can I fix this issue? I had used a docx file converted from doc via WPS Writer.

Hi

When I use Revenj.NET version v1.4.1 and Templater v2.5 and also v2.7.5 to create an xlsx file it threw a NullReferenceException exception.

report ABC {
    //...
	templater CreateSpreadsheet 'File.xlsx';
  }
Locator.Resolve<IDocumentReport<ABC>>().Create(abc);

I have simplified my spreadsheet template and delete all the content and it seems a conditional formatting rules causes the problem.

The attached ERROR.xlsx throws the exception and WORKS.xlsx works 😊

ERROR.xlsx

WORKS.xlsx

See the next page for the only difference between the two files.

Please advise.

Thank you.

Hi, I have a problem with the Templater process duplicating a section for me as in the screenshot I attached. Headings 1,2,3,4,5,6,7 are all level 1 however sections 2 and 4 are duplicated. How can this problem be resolved?

Thank you
