Odf(open document format)

Create .odt, .ods and .odp files with Ruby! For the information what is ODF please have a look at the specification page.

**Note: ** This gem is still in progress and the API may change even in minor version update!

Add this line to your application's Gemfile:

gem 'odf'

And then execute:

$ bundle

Or install it yourself as:

$ gem install odf

This gem provides 3 main classes for each document type. Odf::Document::Text, Odf::Document::Spreadsheet and Odf::Document::Presentation. You can instantiate any of them like so:

document = Odf::Document::Text.new

After you create the document, you can add elements to it. Here we add a paragraph to our document:

document = Odf::Document::Text.new
document.add_paragraph('Tülaay, ne olursun geri dön.')

For available elements you can add into your document please have a look at the lib/element directory.

You can also add meta information to your document like so:

document = Odf::Document::Text.new
document.creator = 'Twentify'

You can either serialize your document directly to file system like so:

document = Odf::Document::Text.new
document.serialize('path_to_serialize')

or get an output stream to work on it like so:

document = Odf::Document::Text.new
document.to_blob

After checking out the repo, run bin/setup to install dependencies. Then, run rake spec to run the tests. You can also run bin/console for an interactive prompt that will allow you to experiment.

To install this gem onto your local machine, run bundle exec rake install. To release a new version, update the version number in version.rb, and then run bundle exec rake release, which will create a git tag for the version, push git commits and tags, and push the .gem file to rubygems.org.
