Docx Templater
Use .docx as reusable templates
In your word document put placeholder names in double pipes || e.g. ||client_email1||
Example usage:
buffer = DocxTemplater.new.replace_file_with_content('path/to/mydocument.docx',
{
:client_email1 => 'test@example.com',
:client_phone1 => '555-555-5555',
})
# In Rails you can send a word document via send_data
send_data buffer.string, :filename => 'REPC.docx'
# Or save the output to a word file
File.open("path/to/mydocument.docx", "wb") {|f| f.write(buffer.string) }Newline Conversion
By default newlines in replacement values are converted to word document linebreak. If you need to ignore newlines you can pass a flag.
DocxTemplater.new(convert_newlines: false)
.replace_file_with_content('path/to/file.docx',
{quotes: "Be Excellent\nTo each other.\n~Bill and Ted's"})Planned Changes
- support for different tags (ie replace <<foo>> instead of ||foo||)
