Free software: MIT license
Documentation: https://templated-docs.readthedocs.io.
Requirements
Django >= 1.8
A recent LibreOffice version (>=4.3.0) supporting LibreOfficeKit API.
Pylokit library to bridge to LibreOffice
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:
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:
