What function triggers a print?
What must the template be typed in for the linkToPrint function to work?
Templates should be formatted in html and stored in the table System Tables —> Main —> Templates —> Print Templates.
A template has a unique name, and cs-styles can be separated into the styles field.
Type — Page.
How do I specify variable substitutions in the template?
Curly braces – {variable}
Is it possible to pass in a linktoPrint row and specify in the template which key to get?
Yes, in this case, the replacement template will look like this — {row_name["key"]}.
What happens if we don't pass a variable?
The replacement will not occur and the element will be shown in curly braces.
What happens if we pass an extra variable?
Nothing will happen.
How do I specify the number formatting directly in the template?
There are several options for formatting variables in a template — the full list is in the documentation.
To format a number directly in the template, you need to do the following:
After the variable name, put a comma (attention! without spaces), after the comma write number, put a colon, and enter the parameters separated by | in a specific sequence:
Number of decimal places.
Decimal separator.
Thousands separator.
Units of measurement — if null or empty string is passed, the units of measurement are not displayed.
<div>{variable_name,number:0|,| | $}</div>
{"num":10000.10}
Result:
<div>10 000 $</div>
but actually, it is better to format the variable as needed before passing it to the template, for example through numFormat.
