Can i modify Template/Data using javascript functions in .Net?

Carlos Espinoza

I'm trying to modify my Data before print the PDF... i wanna do something like this:

async function beforeRender(req, res) {    
    req.data.orders = data.orders + (additional data)
}

the first thing is that i don't know how to create this operation in .Net using await rs.RenderAsync(new RenderRequest{})

Some reason not to do it in the c#?

The custom script can be passed like this

RenderAsync(new RenderRequest {
  Template = new Template {
    Scripts = new List<Script> {
       new Script() { Content = "function beforeRender()... "}
    }
  }
})

How can i pass the actual Data in Template/Data and the data that will be concatenated it the function beforeRender and pass the result to Template/Data again to handlebars understand the new data concatenated?

I don't get it...

Why don't you just prepare the data you need in the c#?
The custom jsreport script doesn't make so much sense when you send the whole request specification in the c#.
It is mostly used when you have a template stored inside jsreport store and want to do some calculation on the incoming data.
