Nested templates

Quite often, it is necessary to pass several lines to a print template that have the same appearance but different content.

For example, an invoice — it has a header and a line part listing the items.

To make this work, we need to create a template of type Element, and in the top template, place a variable that will be replaced by the nested template.

Now we call the print with the nested template and pass rowlist to it:

=: linkToPrint(template: "template_name"; data: $row)

row: rowCreate(field: "rowlist_var" = $row_inner_template)

row_inner_template: rowCreate(field: "template" = "inner_multi_template"; field: "data" = $inner_rowlist)
    inner_rowlist: rowListCreate(field: "column_1" = "LIST_DATA_1"; field: "column_2" = "LIST_DATA_1")

• template_name — top template

• rowlist_var — variable in the top template that will be replaced by the nested table

• row_inner_template — row with keys

  • template — name of the nested template

  • data — rowlist with data for filling. Each row of this rowlist will create a copy of the template passed in template.
