Usage

See the README for usage of the Section Format.

Basic Format

The template file (.tlf) must be created in the Thinreports Basic Editor.

require 'thinreports'

report = Thinreports::Report.new layout: 'report.tlf'

report.start_new_page do
  item(:title).value('Thinreports')
end

report.start_new_page do |page|
  # Item Finder
  page.item(:item_id) # => Item object
  page[:item_id]      # => Item object

  # Text block
  page.item(:text_block).value('Pure Ruby')
  page.item(:text_block).value = 'Pure Ruby'
  page[:text_block] = 'Pure Ruby'
  page.item('text_block').set('value', color: '#0000ff')
  page.item(:text_block).format_enabled(false)

  # Image block
  page.item(:image_block).src('/path/to/image.png')
  page.item(:image_block).src = '/path/to/image.png'
  page[:image_block] = '/path/to/image.png'
  require 'open-uri'
  page.item(:image_block).src(open('http://www.thinreports.org/assets/logos/thinreports-logo.png'))

  # Attributes
  page.item(:any).hide
  page.item(:any).show
  page.item(:any).visible(true)
  page.item(:any).visible? # => true
  page.item(:any).id # => "any"

  # Styles
  page.item(:text).style(:color, 'red')
  page.item(:text).style(:bold, true)
  page.item(:text).style(:italic, true)
  page.item(:text).style(:linethrough, true)
  page.item(:text).style(:underline, true)
  page.item(:text).style(:font_size, 20)

  page.item(:text).style(:align, :left or :center or :right)
  page.item(:text).style(:valign, :top or :center or :bottom)

  page.item(:rectangle).style(:border_color, '#ff0000')
                       .style(:border_width, 1)
                       .style(:fill_color, '#ffffff')

  # Bulk setting of styles
  page.item(:text).styles(color: '#00000', align: :right)

  # Bulk setting of values
  page.values text_block_a: 'value', text_block_b: 'value'

  # Helpers
  page.item_exists?(:existing_id)  # => true
  page.item_exists?('existing_id') # => true
  page.item_exists?(:unknown_id)   # => false
end

report.generate(filename: 'report.pdf')

Thinreports::Report.generate(filename: 'report.pdf', layout: 'report.tlf') do |report|
  report.start_new_page do |page|
    # :
  end
end

Report and Page

report = Thinreports::Report.new layout: 'foo.tlf'

3.times { report.start_new_page }

# Returns all pages
report.pages # => [<Report::Page>, <Report::Page>, <Report::Page>]
# Returns number of pages
report.page_count # => 3

# Add a blank page
report.add_blank_page

report.pages.last # => Report::BlankPage

Using multiple layouts

report = Thinreports::Report.new

report.use_layout '/path/to/default.tlf', default: true
report.use_layout '/path/to/other1.tlf', id: :other

report.start_new_page do |page|
  # use '/path/to/default.tlf' layout
end

report.start_new_page layout: :other do |page|
  # use '/path/to/other1.tlf' layout
end

report.start_new_page layout: '/path/to/other2.tlf' do |page|
  # use '/path/to/other2.tlf' layout
end

Callbacks

report = Thinreports::Report.new layout: 'foo.tlf'

# It will be called before finalizing each page
report.on_page_create do |page|
  page.item(:text).value('Text for all pages')
end

List

report = Thinreports::Report.new layout: 'list.tlf'

report.list.header do |header|
  header.item(:text_block).value('Title')
end

10.times do |n|
  report.list.add_row do |row|
    row.item(:text_block).value(n)
  end
end

report.generate(filename: 'list.pdf')

report = Thinreports::Report.new layout: 'list_with_footer.tlf'

report.list do |list|
  total_price = 0
  price_per_page = 0

  list.on_page_finalize do
    total_price += price_per_page
    price_per_page = 0
  end

  list.on_page_footer_insert do |footer|
    footer.values price: price_per_page
  end

  list.on_footer_insert do |footer|
    footer.item(:price).value(total_price)
  end

  [100, 200, 300].each do |price|
    list.add_row do |row|
      row[:price] = price
    end
    price_per_page += price
  end
end

Page Number

# Setting starting number of page
report.start_page_number_from 5

# Setting whether to count new page
report.start_new_page count: true # default
report.start_new_page count: false

# Change styles
report.start_new_page do |page|
  page.item(:pageno).hide
  page.item(:pageno).show
  page.item(:pageno).visible(false)
  page.item(:pageno).styles(color: 'red', bold: true)
end

Configuring fallback fonts

Thinreports.configure do |config|
  config.fallback_fonts = '/path/to/fallback.ttf'
end

Thinreports.config.fallback_fonts = ['/path/to/font_a.ttf', '/path/to/font_b.ttf']

How to develop in Docker container

You can use the Docker container for development. This container contains the libraries required for testing, such as diff-pdf.

$ docker pull ghcr.io/hidakatsuya/ruby-with-diff-pdf:latest
$ docker run -v $PWD:/src:cached -it ghcr.io/hidakatsuya/ruby-with-diff-pdf bash

> /src#

You can run test:

> /src# bundle install
> /src# bundle exec rake test

Releasing Generator

Update the version number in version.rb
Update CHANGELOG.md and README.md (if needed)
Create the Release PR like #105
Merge the PR
Is the main CI green? If not, make it green
Run bundle exec rake release, which will create a git tag for the version, push git commits and tags, and push the .gem file to rubygems.org
