templateddocs 0.3.4

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:

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:
