Getting Started

Installation

Quick Start

Template follow "WHAT you see is what you get" design,and the template tag styles are completely preserved.

var value = new Dictionary<string, object>(){["title"] = "Hello MiniWord"};
MiniSoftware.MiniWord.SaveAsByTemplate(outputPath, templatePath, value);

Input, Output

  • Input support file path, byte[]
  • Output support file path, byte[], stream
SaveAsByTemplate(string path, string templatePath, Dictionary<string, object> value)
SaveAsByTemplate(string path, byte[] templateBytes, Dictionary<string, object> value)
SaveAsByTemplate(this Stream stream, string templatePath, Dictionary<string, object> value)
SaveAsByTemplate(this Stream stream, byte[] templateBytes, Dictionary<string, object> value)

Tags

MiniWord template format string like Vue, React {{tag}},users only need to make sure tag and value parameter key same then system will replace them automatically.

Text

{{tag}}
Example
var value = new Dictionary<string, object>()
{
    ["Name"] = "Jack",
    ["Department"] = "IT Department",
    ["Purpose"] = "Shanghai site needs a new system to control HR system.",
    ["StartDate"] = DateTime.Parse("2022-09-07 08:30:00"),
    ["EndDate"] = DateTime.Parse("2022-09-15 15:30:00"),
    ["Approved"] = true,
    ["Total_Amount"] = 123456,
};
MiniWord.SaveAsByTemplate(path, templatePath, value);

Value type is MiniWordPicture

Example
var value = new Dictionary<string, object>()
{
    ["Logo"] = new MiniWordPicture() { Path= PathHelper.GetFile("DemoLogo.png"), Width= 180, Height= 180 }
};
MiniWord.SaveAsByTemplate(path, templatePath, value);

List

tag value is string[] or IList<string> type

Example
var value = new Dictionary<string, object>()
{
    ["managers"] = new[] { "Jack" ,"Alan"},
    ["employees"] = new[] { "Mike" ,"Henry"},
};
MiniWord.SaveAsByTemplate(path, templatePath, value);

Table

Tag value is IEmerable<Dictionary<string,object>> type

Example
var value = new Dictionary<string, object>()
{
    ["TripHs"] = new List<Dictionary<string, object>>
    {
        new Dictionary<string, object>
        {
            { "sDate",DateTime.Parse("2022-09-08 08:30:00")},
            { "eDate",DateTime.Parse("2022-09-08 15:00:00")},
            { "How","Discussion requirement part1"},
            { "Photo",new MiniWordPicture() { Path = PathHelper.GetFile("DemoExpenseMeeting02.png"), Width = 160, Height = 90 }},
        },
        new Dictionary<string, object>
        {
            { "sDate",DateTime.Parse("2022-09-09 08:30:00")},
            { "eDate",DateTime.Parse("2022-09-09 17:00:00")},
            { "How","Discussion requirement part2 and development"},
            { "Photo",new MiniWordPicture() { Path = PathHelper.GetFile("DemoExpenseMeeting01.png"), Width = 160, Height = 90 }},
        },
    }
};
MiniWord.SaveAsByTemplate(path, templatePath, value);

List inside list

Tag value is IEnumerable<MiniWordForeach> type. Adding {{foreach and endforeach}} tags to template is required.

Example
var value = new Dictionary<string, object>()
{
    ["TripHs"] = new List<Dictionary<string, object>>
    {
        new Dictionary<string, object>
        {
            { "sDate", DateTime.Parse("2022-09-08 08:30:00") },
            { "eDate", DateTime.Parse("2022-09-08 15:00:00") },
            { "How", "Discussion requirement part1" },
            {
                "Details", new List<MiniWordForeach>()
                {
                    new MiniWordForeach()
                    {
                        Value = new Dictionary<string, object>()
                        {
                            {"Text", "Air"},
                            {"Value", "Airplane"}
                        },
                        Separator = " | "
                    },
                    new MiniWordForeach()
                    {
                        Value = new Dictionary<string, object>()
                        {
                            {"Text", "Parking"},
                            {"Value", "Car"}
                        },
                        Separator = " / "
                    }
                }
            }
        }
    }
};
MiniWord.SaveAsByTemplate(path, templatePath, value);

If statement inside template

For multip paragraph, use @if and @endif tags. For single paragraph and inside foreach, use {{if and endif}} tags to template is required.

Example
var value = new Dictionary<string, object>()
{
    ["Name"] = new List<MiniWordHyperLink>(){
        new MiniWordHyperLink(){
            Url = "https://google.com",
            Text = "測試連結22!!"
        },
        new MiniWordHyperLink(){
            Url = "https://google1.com",
            Text = "測試連結11!!"
        }
    },
    ["Company_Name"] = "MiniSofteware",
    ["CreateDate"] = new DateTime(2021, 01, 01),
    ["VIP"] = true,
    ["Points"] = 123,
    ["APP"] = "Demo APP",
};
MiniWord.SaveAsByTemplate(path, templatePath, value);

ColorText

Example
var value = new
{
    Company_Name = new MiniWordColorText { Text = "MiniSofteware", FontColor = "#eb70AB", },
    Name = new[] {
        new MiniWordColorText { Text = "Ja", HighlightColor = "#eb70AB" },
        new MiniWordColorText { Text = "ck", HighlightColor = "#a56abe" }
    },
    CreateDate = new MiniWordColorText
    {
        Text = new DateTime(2021, 01, 01).ToString(),
        HighlightColor = "#eb70AB",
        FontColor = "#ffffff",
    },
    VIP = true,
    Points = 123,
    APP = "Demo APP",
};
MiniWord.SaveAsByTemplate(path, templatePath, value);

Other

POCO or dynamic parameter

v0.5.0 support POCO or dynamic parameter

var value = new { title = "Hello MiniWord" };
MiniWord.SaveAsByTemplate(outputPath, templatePath, value);

FontColor and HighlightColor

var value = new
{
    Company_Name = new MiniWordColorText { Text = "MiniSofteware", FontColor = "#eb70AB" },
    Name = new MiniWordColorText { Text = "Jack", HighlightColor = "#eb70AB" },
    CreateDate = new MiniWordColorText { Text = new DateTime(2021, 01, 01).ToString(), HighlightColor = "#eb70AB", FontColor = "#ffffff" },
    VIP = true,
    Points = 123,
    APP = "Demo APP",
};

HyperLink

If value type is MiniWordHyperLink system will replace template string by hyperlink.

  • Url: HyperLink URI target path
  • Text:Description
var value = new 
{
    ["Name"] = new MiniWordHyperLink(){
        Url = "https://google.com",
        Text = "Test Link!!"
    },
    ["Company_Name"] = "MiniSofteware",
    ["CreateDate"] = new DateTime(2021, 01, 01),
    ["VIP"] = true,
    ["Points"] = 123,
    ["APP"] = "Demo APP",
};
MiniWord.SaveAsByTemplate(path, templatePath, value);
