Hi, is there a way possible that i can use {{name}} (JSON object name) inside the javascript ( like we do in the HTML) inside the EXCEL , rather then the afterRender or beforeRender .
do you mean to access name inside the helpers of template? if yes, then you can pass it explicetly to the helper (as a parameter) when using it from handlebars, like {{trimField name date}}. unlike scripts, helpers can not access all the data in single variable, you need to pass what you need as parameters if you want to do something with it.
The afterRender & beforeRender are very straightforward & best solution to many problems , but since i don't get the data , unless someone post the data` so this is the main problem.
sorry i'm getting confused for what you want..
since i don't get the data , unless someone post the data
will your report only be called on form submit? if yes, then i don't see the problem, you will be able to get all data present during submit and send it to jsreport, in which it will process your data with the helpers that you defined. or are you trying to describe that you can not test the report easily without going to the flow of opening your form and then clicking submit? if that is the issue, you can attach some sample data to your report (there are some actions for that in the jsreport studio UI), so it allows you to test it right in jsreport studio without sending data
