Word Template
-------------

[](#word-template)

This package provides a binary executable to generate word from templates and a wrapper object *WordTemplate* to use it in PHP. The binary is compiled from c++, which uses the [DocxFactory](http://docxfactory.com/) third party library.

### Requirements

[](#requirements)

The usage relies on a system executable. This means that certain libraries are required.

- **GCC v5+** - by installing gcc you should have most of these libraries available
- **libstdc++ 6.0.21** - in certain cases you might have issues (like on centos); the problem you might have is with this lib which needs to be configured manually ([download](https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B7S255p3kFXNNTIzU2thRlZmYVE/edit))
- **PHP NTS** (Non-Thread-Safe) - this is required because for some reason the thread safe is not allowed to execute the binary

### Installation

[](#installation)

```
composer require archfz/word-template:1.3.x-dev

```

**Note:** require with the specified version, otherwise not the 'package' branch will be used. This branch is better as it does not include all the c++ source files and libraries that are not required for functionality.

### Usage

[](#usage)

First you need to create a template word document. This must be **.docx**.

In it you create placeholders with braces like the following: **{placeholder}**.

You can also bookmark things that you select and then these elements will be cloneable. For example bookmark the upper placeholder and name it '**myplaceholder**'.

In case of the above described word template you can do the following:

```
use archfz/Word/WordTemplate

$template = new WordTemplate('test.docx');

$template->paste('myplaceholder');
$template->setValue('placeholder', 'Put one here');

$template->paste('myplaceholder');
$template->setValue('placeholder', 'Put another different');

$template->compile();
```

Which will produce a **test\_compiled.docx** with two lines:

```
Put one here
Put another different

```
