README

This is simple template system for document files. It uses text replacement, allows cyclical replacements and basic filters.

Installation

You can install this library using composer

composer require bezirovoviku/temgen

Requirements

LibreOffice (2+) - only for OPDF converter

PhantomJS - only for PPDF converter

Usage

First you will need to include the generator class

use Temgen\Generator;

then use generator class as follows

//Creates generator
$generator = new Generator();
//Adds basic filters
$generator->addFilters();
//Sets temporary folder used to store documents
$generator->setTmp('/tmp');
//Sets path to template file
$generator->setTemplate(new Document('template.html'));
//Generates zip archive from specified data
$generator->generateArchive(json_decode($this->data, true), 'archive.zip');

Creating custom filters

To create custom filter, you will need to implement \Temgen\Generator\Filter interace

class MyFilter implements \Temgen\Generator\Filter
{
	/**
	 * Returns tag used to identify filter
	 *
	 * @return string tag identifing filter
	 */
	public function getTag() {
	  return 'myfilter';
	}
	
	/**
	 * Filter given arguments and return result
	 *
	 * @param \Temgen\Generator $generator generator calling this filter
	 * @param array           $context   replacing context
	 * @param array           $arguments arguments passed to filter
	 * @param string|null     $input     pipe input (if present)
	 * @return string result
	 */
	public function filter($generator, $context, $arguments, $input) {
	  return strtoupper($input);
	}
}

then you will need to add instance of this filter to generator instance, like so:

$generator = new Generator();
$generator->addFilter(new MyFilter());

now, in this generator instance, filter MyFilter will be accessible by {myfilter} syntax

Exporting pdf

This requires libreoffice installed

//Creates docx generator
$generator = new Generator\Docx();
//PDF converter
$converter = new Converter\OPDF();
//Adds basic filters
$generator->addFilters();
//Sets temporary folder used to store documents
$generator->setTmp('/tmp');
//Sets path to template file
$generator->setTemplate(new Document\Docx('template.docx'));
//Generates zip archive from specified data, converts using converter
$generator->generateArchive(json_decode($this->data, true), 'archive.zip', $converter);
