Documentation Status

Dependencies

Generate templated documents within Django in any format supported by LibreOffice: texts, spreadsheets, presentations etc.

Requirements

  • Python 2.7 or 3.4+
  • Django >= 1.8
  • A recent LibreOffice version (>=4.3.0) supporting LibreOfficeKit API.

Example usage

Create a sample.odt document (make sure it\'s in OpenDocument format) and put it in your Django templates folder. It should look something like this:

Then write a view to generate documents from this template:

``` python from templated_docs import fill_template from templated_docs.http import FileResponse

def get_document(request): """ A view to get a document filled with context variables. """ context = {'user': request.user} # Just an example

filename = fill_template('sample.odt', context, output_format='pdf')
visible_filename = 'greeting.pdf'

return FileResponse(filename, visible_filename)

```

Navigate to the url your view is connected to, and you\'ll see a rendered and converted document:
