General Idea

Developing a DSL for generating PDF files. It could be used in other apps as a tool for generating dynamic reports, contracts, invoices etc.

Features

Must have

• PDF text elements (Heading, text block...)
• Font customization
• Including DSL features into Python module
• Images
• Tabels

Nice to have

• PDF Templates (for contracts, reports...)
• Text customization (Size, Bolded, Underline, Italic, Alignment)

Could have

• VSCode plugin

Create virtual environment

python3 -m venv /path/to/new/virtual/environment

Start virtual environment

Mac:

source NAME_OF_MY_VIRTUAL_ENVIRONMENT/bin/activate

Windows:

NAME_OF_MY_VIRTUAL_ENVIRONMENT\Scripts\activate

Install requirements from requirements.txt

pip install requirements.txt

Generate pdf and html file

Mac users:

cd src && python3 main.py

Windows users:

cd src && python main.py

Installing from a local src tree

python3 -m pip install -e .

Installing from local archives

python3 -m pip install <path>

Installing from PyPI

python3 -m pip install "PDF-Generator-with-TextX==version_of_project"
