Meta Module

This module doesn't expose tags, but it makes it possible to do some operations on the docx itself.

The META module currently can :

Make a document readonly
Add a text watermark
Update the margins

Installation:

You will need docxtemplater v3: npm install docxtemplater

Install this module with npm install --save "$url"

Usage

To use this module, do your operations after compile, before render :

Readonly

const DocxtemplaterMetaModule = require("docxtemplater-meta-module");
const metaModule = new DocxtemplaterMetaModule();
doc.attachModule(metaModule);
doc.setData(data);
doc.compile();
metaModule.readonly();
doc.render();
const buffer = doc.getZip().generate({ type: "nodebuffer" });

Watermark

const DocxtemplaterMetaModule = require("docxtemplater-meta-module");
const metaModule = new DocxtemplaterMetaModule();
doc.attachModule(metaModule);
doc.setData(data);
doc.compile();
metaModule.addTextWatermark("DRAFT", { diagonal: true });
doc.render();
const buffer = doc.getZip().generate({ type: "nodebuffer" });

Margins

const DocxtemplaterMetaModule = require("docxtemplater-meta-module");
const metaModule = new DocxtemplaterMetaModule();
doc.attachModule(metaModule);
doc.setData(data);
doc.compile();
// Margins are in inches, and apply to all pages
metaModule.setMargins({ top: 0.5, left: 0.8, right: 1.2, bottom: 1 });
doc.render();
const buffer = doc.getZip().generate({ type: "nodebuffer" });

After installing the module, you can use a working demo by running node sample.js.

CHANGELOG

3.2.2

Add support for setting header/footer margins, for example :

metaModule.setMargins({
    left: 0.1,
    right: 0.1,
    top: 0.5,
    bottom: 0.5,
    header: 0.05,
    footer: 0.05,
});

3.2.1

Declare supportedFileTypes, which allows to use this module with the new docxtemplater constructor which was introduced in docxtemplater 3.17.

3.0.2

Update browser build to use XMLSerializer instead of xmldom
Use requiredAPIVersion

3.0.1

Move docxtemplater from devDependencies to dependencies

Explanation : On some versions of npm (notably 5.8.0), when having a package containing docxtemplater-meta-module, the installation will generate a tree of node_modules that puts the module on a level where it has no access to docxtemplater. By explicitly asking it as a dependency, this issue is avoided.
