The idea is to reuse a rest service, for 'n' template, but for this it is necessary to receive a parameter, in rest services I can obtain data from a certain user, and thus fill in the corresponding data in each template, each template represents a user and this pdf template, let's say a report is sent by email every client every so often through a shedule. In this way avoid generating a static template per client, but cunsumir the information of a rest service, just changing a parameter.

It is possible to define and send parameters from the template to the scripts that have functions berofeRender and afterRender, to send a parameter get, or path variable, and obtain different results, and thus in this way reuse the code in different templates by consulting the same api , and only change the value of the parameter in the template.

var getRequest = require('request').get

function beforeRender(req, res, done) {
    getRequest('http://misitioweb/v1/data/user/', function (err, resp, body) {
        if (err) {
            return done(err)
        }
        
        req.data.user = JSON.parse(body).data
        done()
    }) 
}

The web server runs indefinitely or ends due to inactivity?

I had a project in windows and when it remained some time inactive it closed me ..

The file jsreport.config.json

{
    "chrome" : {
        "timeout" : 40000
    }
}

I am interested in this being active

thank you very much, I work perfect.

When using the service of sending emails of a pdf, it comes to me with a duplicate, that is, it is sent twice, and when making a different configuration, now it comes to me three times, it must be some configuration that is stored ... something like that...

function afterRender(req, res, done) {
    var mailer = require("nodemailer");

    var smtpTransport = mailer.createTransport('smtps://jairo@midominio.co:password@smtp.midominio.com');

    var mail = {
        from: "Mi persona <miusuario@midominio.co>",
        to: "miusuario@gmail.com",
        subject: "Test from jsreport",
        text: "Esto es un test",
        html: "<b>Esto es un test, parte 2. Veamos si me voy mas de una vez</b>",
        attachments: [
        {  
            filename: 'Reporte - {{ client.name }}.pdf',
            content: new Buffer(res.content)
        }],
    }

smtpTransport.sendMail(mail, function(error, response){
    smtpTransport.close();
    if(error){
        return done(error);
    }

    return done();
});

}

Hola, porque al momento de editar un template, en la parte inferior tengo para cargar javascript no puedo acceder a document, me sale que document no esta definido.

Hello, because when I edit a template, at the bottom I have to load javascript I can not access the document, I get that document is not defined.

Error while executing templating engine. document is not defined. Error on line 18:5.

  16 |     father = '<div class="container-heatmap">';
  17 |     config = _config1;
> 18 |     element = document.getElementById(config.idElement);
     |     ^
  19 |     // element.innerHTML = 'Loading ... ';
  20 |     // element.className = 'container-heatmap';
  21 |     color = config.color.split('(')[1].split(',')[0];

Hola, si, me funciono correctamente y pude correr el proyecto, respalde los contents y cuando ya estaba funcionado, los volvi a crear y cargue nuevamene el contenido. Gracias!

Hello, yes, I worked correctly and could run the project, back the contents and when it was already working, I created them and loaded the content again. Thanks!

Hola, otra información adicional es los archivos en los cuales estaba trabajando es en tamplate/Reporte, assets/Reporte.css, assets/Reporte.js, Reporte footer, Reporte header. Pude observar en los archivos que por cada elemento en assets hay una carpeta que contiene content.json y el archivo original por ejemplo content.css. Este ejemplo anterior para el caso del css no tiene valores en config.son. Quizas eliminando este archivo se pueda colocar en marcha de nuevo?

Hello, another additional information is the files in which I was working is in tamplate / Report, assets / Reporte.css, assets / Reporte.js, Footer Report, Report header. I could see in the files that for each element in assets there is a folder that contains content.json and the original file for example content.css. This previous example for the case of the css has no values in config.son. Maybe removing this file can be put back on track?

Hola, sigue saliendo el mismo error, luego de haber eliminado el archivo setting de data. Justo en ese momento cuando se presento el fallo de energia estabá configurando propiedades en los margenes de chrome-pdf.

Hello, the same error is still coming out, after having deleted the setting data file. Just at that moment when the power failure was present, it was configuring properties in the chrome-pdf margins.
