Kaleidocs/merge

A Clojure wrapper for XDocReport. Works on Open Document Format for Office Applications and Velocity syntax.

Installation

Include Kaleidocs/merge in your project.clj:

(require '[kaleidocs.merge :refer [merge-doc]])

Usage

Simple structure

Create ODT/ODS templates with LibreOffice / OpenOffice. Templates are just normal office files with some placeholders typed directly inside. Follow velocity syntax, something like this:

• In the file simple-template.odt:

Hello $name!

Now execute from clojure:

(merge-doc "simple-template.odt"
           "simple-output.odt"
           {:name "World"})

• the file simple-output.odt should now contain:

Hello World!

ODS templates work the same way.

Documents with repeated rows in tables (ODT only)

• Create a table (you can type placeholders directly without the XDocReport extension for LibreOffice / Open Office)

• Let XDocReport do the heavy lifting

(merge-doc "simple-template.odt"
           "simple-output.odt"
           ;; columns
           ["developers.Name", "developers.Mail", "developers.LastName"]
           ;; data
           {:project {"Name" "XDocReport"},
            "developers"
            [{"Name" "ZERR",
              "Mail" "angelo.zerr@gmail.com",
              "LastName" "Angelo"},
             {"Name" "Leclercq",
              "Mail" "pascal.leclercq@gmail.com",
              "LastName" "Pascal"}]})
