How to working with child template

Rodrigo Americo

Please, I have two table :

client:

atributes:
id
name

items:
id
description

and I need to do a report that show this way:

name: John
description: pencil
description: pen
name: Peter
description: erase
description: pen

I need to use child templates for this, but I don't know how to implement. Do you have someone example?

Best regards

hi! can you create an example that demonstrate your desired output here? it does not matter if it is just static content, i just want to understand more what is the way that you expect your data being organized in your report. also please make sure to upload a sample of your data so i can have an idea of the shape of your data input.

I Sorry, I'm Brazilian, and, my English is still not very good, so I often do not express myself correctly in the language. I was able to solve the problem, I will post below so others can use this example:

I have three files: clientes(parent template), childClientes(child template) and dataClientes(data in json)
The parent template will show name and document, and child template will show items descriptions.
Below is the content of the files:

dataClientes(data in json)

{
"students" : [
{
"id": 1,
"name":"Robert",
"document": "324234234",
"items":[{"description":"pen"}, {"description":"pencil"}]

    }, 
    {
        "id":2,
        "name":"Peter", 
        "document": "3423423", 
        "items":[{"description":"erase"}, {"description":"pen"}]
        
    }  
]

}

clientes(parent template)

<table width="100%">
<tr>
<td width="50%">
{{name}}
</td>
<td width=50%>
{{document}}
</td>
</tr>
<tr> </tr>
<tr>
{{#each items}}
{#child childClientes @data.value= {{description}} }
{{/each}}

</tr>
{{/each}}

</table>

childClientes(child template)

<table>
<tr>
<td> {{value}}</td>
</tr>
</table>

nice, glad that you found a solution and thanks for sharing your approach. an alternative solution is to use assets instead of child templates just for your information, maybe it can be useful to you in the future.
