Template inside template about docxtemplater HOT 7 CLOSED

Hi,

why exactly would you like to use templates inside templates ? Are you using that many templates that you would like to use subcomponents that could be used in many different templates ?

An other question: If I understood correclty, you would like to have exactly this syntax:

var doc = new DocxGen().loadFromFile("xmlInsertionExample.docx");
var doc2 = new DocxGen().loadFromFile("littleTextBlock.docx");
doc.setTags({
    tag1: "Hello World",
    rawXmlTag: doc2.getDocumentBody()
});

Or was that code just to tell an idea on how to implement it ?

So except for the getDocumentBody() method they wouldn't be so much to implement.

I need some time to think about it but if it's just that function I think it would be ok.

The reason is I need to insert some formatted text into template. And that text would be typed by manager in another document, for example.

Or was that code just to tell an idea on how to implement it ?

Yes, you understood correctly. This is an idea. I would happy to use any possibility to solve my task.

Thank you.

Since v0.5.1, you can do the following:

var doc = new DocxGen().loadFromFile("xmlInsertionExample.docx");
var doc2 = new DocxGen().loadFromFile("littleTextBlock.docx");
path="word/document.xml"
bodyData=doc2.zip.files[path].asText()
body=(new XmlTemplater(bodyData)).getFullText('w:body')
doc.setTags({
    tag1: "Hello World",
    rawXmlTag: body
});

I have not tested this but I think it should work. Be informed that this is kind of a 'hack' around the library, as XmlTemplater shouldn't be accessible to the end-users and will be in later versions removed from the global scope.

Thank you. It works.
But if I put {@rawXmlTag} in the table cell it is error occured:

/mnt/work/node_modules/docxtemplater/js/docxgen.js:8
aractersAdded[n]]!==a[0][0])throw"no < at the beginning of "+a[0][0]+" (2)";if
                                                                    ^
no < at the beginning of < (2)

UPD
hmm
error occurs this way:

+-------------------------+-------------------------+
|  {@rawXmlTag}           |   Something             |
+-------------------------+-------------------------+

But if the rest table cells are emty it works without errors:

+-------------------------+-------------------------+
|  {@rawXmlTag}           |                         |
+-------------------------+-------------------------+

Oh right. You're probably having tags after the {@rawXmlTag} and this causes the issue...

I've reproduced the bug in a new branch, i will let you know when it is fixed.

Fixed since v0.5.2
