hi!

for template v2.1 is clear that the issue is that the loop does not output anything, for template v2 what is the issue?

it is the that the rows are overlapping each other, right?

i have added to the backlog to check this case, we will get to it.

yes, i have it implemented in my local, i am now working on adding it to docxTable too for feature parity

i took a look today and this usage was never intended to work. as the docs shows, you should either use pptxTable as a row loop, or a vertical column loop.

you are trying to use the helper in two rows and this is not supported, you should try using the dynamic columns variation to get your desired layout.

after checking this i now remember what is happening. in 4.5.0 we added the feature to generate dynamic cells to pptxTable. introducing this feature revealed that for both, the vertical and the dynamic mode, it was needed some kind of normalization for the width of the columns, otherwise depending on your data, you will get a table that does not fit in the slide, overflowing the slide boundaries.

so we added logic to distribute the existing full table width between the total of columns generated after the pptxTable processing. it is not the best but this ensures you don't end with a table that overflows the slide by default.

now it is clear to me that we need some kind of configuration in pptxTable to allow setting explicit column width, so this can be set and changed per user needs.

hi @PedroZimmer

the docs mention that you should use overflow: scroll in the cell to get text wrap enabled.

if you do it, this will be the result.

about the pptx issues i am about to start checking those soon, and about the playground we will try to prioritize its update, our backlog is quite full so we are fixing and implementing features, so playground got a bit behind, but we will update it soon.

what jsreport version are you using? i've done a test with latest jsreport (4.7.0) and it works.

using this data

{
    "data": [
        {
            "second": {
                "records": [{
                    "first": "Boris",
                    "last": "2",
                    "value": 1
                }, {
                    "first": "Matos",
                    "last": "22",
                    "value": 18
                }, {
                    "first": "Jan",
                    "last": "12",
                    "value": 10
                }, {
                    "first": "Blaha",
                    "last": "34",
                    "value": 8
                }]
            }
        },
        {
            "second": {
                "records": [{
                    "first": "Pablo",
                    "last": "48",
                    "value": 49
                }, {
                    "first": "Juan",
                    "last": "92",
                    "value": 16
                }, {
                    "first": "Martin",
                    "last": "45",
                    "value": 17
                }, {
                    "first": "Jhon",
                    "last": "10",
                    "value": 7
                }]
            }
        }
    ]
}

hi!

Is there some new setting that I have to set to keep the column widths correct?

no, i am not sure what could be happening for the column width change, we will take a look

@WadeBenz thanks for the details, we will take a look.

hi @Роман-Шкріба

can you share an example that reproduces the problem? you can attach here an export.

hi!

I'm iterating through array of objects in my template using {{#each.. and displaying some HTML info that contains marked list inside using {{docxHtml content=SomeHtml}}... And the issue is that if display HTML that contains some marked list more than once, all displayed lists in the report are broken (indentation is missed everywhere except 1st level nesting list items). Like if only one object has HTML info with a list and others are having only plain text, it looks perfect
Other weird thing is that I couldn't reproduce it in the playground :(
But as for example: https://playground.jsreport.net/w/GoncharovNikit/yMmdVac~

playground runs jsreport 4.3.0 so it is expected there is some differences if you are testing with latest version. you don't mention what version you are using but i assume you are using latest.

the example you shared on playground seems to run fine as expected, on my local with jsreport 4.6.0.

the case you are describing from your env looks different from what you shared, so it will be easier to take a look if you provide an export file or a new playground with the same setup you are describing.

hi! reply is on github, we will take a look, let's move the conversation there.

hi!

dynamic pptxTable is part of >= jsreport 4.5.0, playground right now is using jsreport 4.3.0. we will try to find some time to update the playground to latest jsreport to improve the type of demos you can share there

your sample runs fine on latest jsreport (4.6.0)

hmm, i only provided an example with single column because according to your sample this was what you want.

I need different column quantity it the row dependence on data of current data level. And I cant resolve it for column

you will always need to know at least the maximum number of columns you need in a table, i think this can be known by evaluating the data also at runtime.

perhaps you can share how this looks like, you can show different inputs of data, and what is the expected docx table you expect to get. so we can validate you can do it with docxTable dynamic cells form.

i have checked this but it is too hard to make a nested each to work in a table, the table has special XML structure that does not work ok when adding other loops.

you don't have other alternative that changing your data. but it can be done at runtime, no need to change how you send your data.

here is an example that reproduces what you want

0_1726155161621_export-docx-table.jsrexport (if this gets downloaded with a .bin extension, please rename to use the .jsrexport extension)

the trick is in the helpers

function getTableRows (source) {
    const data = getTableData(source)
    return data.slice(1).map((item) => [item])
}

function getTableColumns (source) {
    const data = getTableData(source)
    return [data[0]]
}

function getTableBackground (level) {
    if (level === 2) {
        return 'FFA08C'
    } else if (level === 3) {
        return 'FFFE3F'
    }

    return 'A7C3C0'
}

function getTableData (source) {
    const data = []

    const extract = (obj, currentLevel) => {
		for (const key in obj) {
			if (Array.isArray(obj[key])) {
				for (const c of obj[key]) {
                    extract(c, currentLevel + 1)
                }
			} else if (typeof obj[key] === 'object' && obj[key] !== null) {
				extract(obj[key], currentLevel + 1)
			} else {
				data.push({ value: { content: obj[key], level: currentLevel } })
			}
		}
	}

    extract(source, 1)
    return data
}

@GoncharovNikit

Thanks! I have updated jsreport from 4.2 to 4.6 and it almost perfectly works!

thanks for the confirmation.

as I see the "he" module is removed. Do you have any replacement to it?

likely this got removed in one of our releases. we don't ensure keeping the same module graph between versions, so relying on a third-party node.js module that is not part of your app dependencies is risky. always ensure you use modules that are listed in your dependencies.

as Jan said, you can install the he module with the npm extension.

@GoncharovNikit you don't mention the jsreport version you are using, but i guess it is 4.6.0, right? if you are not using 4.6.0 please try to replicate the issue in the latest version (4.6.0). we fixed an issue with lists and icons in different levels since jsreport 4.4.0, so please let us know what version of jsreport you are using to verify correctly.

this HTML produces valid docx for me in jsreport 4.6.0

<ul>
  <li><p>bullet 1</p></li>
  <li>
    <p>bullet2</p>
    <ul>
      <li><p>bullet 1.1</p></li>
      <li>
        <p>bullet 1.2</p>
        <ul>
          <li><p>bullet 2.3</p></li>
          <li><p>bullet 2.4</p></li>
        </ul>
      </li>
      <li><p>bullet 1.3</p></li>
    </ul>
  </li>
  <li><p>bullet 3</p></li>
</ul>

if you are using jsreport 4.6.0 and it produces the broken document, then please share with me the exact entities you are using (an export).

with my simplified sample i can not reproduce this behavior

hi @GoncharovNikit

we will take a look at this, thanks for providing the details, we are going to focus on making the docx to be generated without warnings, the specific issues with unoconv conversion to pdf is a different thing, that we may not be able to do anything about.

however you can try to experiment with docx alone (i mean that you create/edit it with Word) until you find some combination that makes it work in unoconv conversion, if you find some document that works let us know so we can take a look how the same representation can be generated dynamically.

thanks, we are busy with other tasks but as soon as we get to this we are going to take a look what can be done. subscribe here for updates

hi @ilianor for some reason after several attempts the download does not start for me, please send me the export at bjrmatos@gmail.com
