Simple lua library to replace tags in the docx template file.
local sock_file = '/home/rogon/tmp/exec.sock'
local tmp_dir = '/home/myhome/tmpdir'
local docx = require 'docx'
local docx_cleaner = require 'docx-cleaner'
local dc = docx_cleaner.new(tmp_dir, sock_file_path)
local cleaned_docx = dc:clean_xml(./tmp/docx-tpl.docx')
local doc = docx.new(tmp_dir)
local ok, err = doc:replace_tags(cleaned_docx, {
['#matters.name#'] = 'Some name',
['#matters.email#'] = '[email protected]'
})
-- copy docx file to public web directory
local res, err = os.rename(cleaned_docx, '/var/www/public/20170601.docx')
Forward the browser url point to this file eg: https://mydomain.com/20170601.docx
- tmp_file_dir string output file directory
- docx_tpl_path string docx file with full path
- tags table table of tag -> value
- return boolean, err
It is important to configure the lua-docx-xml-cleaner in order for lua-docx to work properly.
