Ignore missing assets

jensweigele

Hi,

is there a possibility to ignore a missing asset?
I would like to load the asset "/logo.png" but if it doesn't exist, I want to take another logo.
I was trying to do this in JavaScript (check if the result of {#asset... is not empty etc.) but get an error that the asset "/logo.png" was not found.

Regards
Jens

Hi, there is no option to ignore missing at this moment.
However, you have a lot of power with a custom script to achieve what you need
https://jsreport.net/learn/scripts

const jsreport = require('jsreport-proxy')
async function beforeRender(req, res) {
  const logoAsset = await jsreport.documentStore.collection('assets').findOne({ name: 'logo.png' })
  if (logoAsset) {
    req.data.logoAsest  = 'logo.png'
  } else {
    req.data.logoAsest  = 'another.png'
 }
}

Hi Jan,

thanks - didn't thought about that possibility!
