A document template merge service providing an API to manage templates and merge them with given data. It can also be used to convert Docx files to PDF.

Requirements

• docker
• docker-compose

After installing and configuring those, download docker-compose.yml and run the following command:

docker-compose up -d

You can now access the api at http://localhost:8000/api/v1/ which includes a browsable api.

The workaround has a setting called ISOLATE_UNOCONV, it is only enabled in the development environment. If ISOLATE_UNOCONV is enabled the container needs CAP_SYS_ADMIN. See docker-compose.override.yml.

cap_add:
  - CAP_SYS_ADMIN
security_opt:
  - apparmor:unconfined
environment:
  - ISOLATE_UNOCONV=true

Upload templates using the following:

curl --form template=@docx-template.docx --form name="Test Template" --form engine=docx-template http://localhost:8000/api/v1/template/

After uploading successfully, you can merge a template with the following call:

curl -H "Content-Type: application/json" --data '{"data": {"test": "Test Input"}}' http://localhost:8000/api/v1/template/test-template/merge/ > output.docx

To convert a standalone Docx file the following call can be used:

curl -X POST --form file=@my-test-file.docx --form target_format="pdf" http://localhost:8000/api/v1/convert > example.pdf
