Usage

Test Locally:

docker build -t docker-carbone . && docker run -it -p 3000:3000 docker-carbone

Container launches an Express web server that listens for several API:

1. POST & GET requests to /generate with the following body/query param:

   {
       template: "/path/to/template',
       filename: "filename.pdf",
       json: {
           <report data passed>
       },
       options: {
           < carbone processing options, such as "convertTo: pdf" >
       }
   }

2. GET template to /template that will return you the list of template available
3. POST template to /template requiring Multipart Form Data containing template as file.

Replace Image in Document (Alpha)

The API support image replacement with some caveats. First of all, use the following body

{
    template: "/path/to/template',
    filename: "filename.pdf",
    imagesReplace: [{
        source: "https://klinikpintar.id/images/banner-image-hs.png",
        destination: "word/media/image3.png"
    }],
    json: {
        <report data passed>
    },
    options: {
        < carbone processing options, such as "convertTo: pdf" >
    }
}

Important points:

• source must be an image URL, preferably .png
• destination is the image path in the document. To get this path unzip the document (.docx / .odt) template and look for the image you want to replace.

Caveats:

• Image dimension must be the same otherwise the new image will be scaled using the old image dimension
• Tested using docx and odt
