Java operations generate Word( poi-tl Implement)

Preface

There's a recent need to generate Word reports, to count the data and present it as Word. Some implementation techniques have been found online, including apache poi and FreeMarker, but both are slightly inadequate for generating Word. apache poi provides Java programs for MicrosoftThe function of reading and writing files in Office format is tedious, has high freedom of operation and needs its own design style for easy maintenance. FreeMarker uses the idea of template engine, is simple and easy to use, works well with HTML and XML, but Word is not easy to operate. Finally, poi-tl is found. It is a Word template engine, which uses Word templates and data to create Word documents.Layer encapsulates apache poi to provide easier to use Api operations.

1. Characteristics

poi-tl can support basic Word content processing such as common text, pictures, tables, lists, charts, etc. In addition, there are other code highlighting, Word annotations, bookmarks, anchors, hyperlinks, text boxes, template nesting, user-defined functions (plug-ins), and so on.

The logic of poi-tl is TDO mode. Template + data-model = output

That is, the result is rendered by compiling the template + data model.

See:

Template: Template

Data-model: Data

Output: Output

2. Quick Start

1. Maven Dependency

<dependency>
  <groupId>com.deepoove</groupId>
  <artifactId>poi-tl</artifactId>
  <version>1.10.0</version>
</dependency>

Create a new Word template template.docx with content {{var}}

Content within {{}} can be customized

// Template Loading and Rendering
XWPFTemplate template = XWPFTemplate.compile("template.docx").render(
  // data model
  new HashMap<String, Object>(){{
    put("var", "Hi, poi-tl Word template engine");
}});  
// Output Document
template.writeAndClose(new FileOutputStream("output.docx")); 

This completes a simple document rendering.

3. Case Demonstration

Use a case to illustrate how poi-tl is used

1. Let's first create a template, E:\ComTemp\Test Generation word\Template test.docx. This is the path we created.

2. Making Data Models

Look directly at the code

File fileTempl = new File("E:\\ComTemp\\test generation word\\Template test.docx");

// Making a data model
HashMap<String, Object> hashMap = new HashMap<>();
// text
hashMap.put("title", "Hi, poi-tl Word template engine");
hashMap.put("name", "Sayi");
Hyperlink and anchor text:
hashMap.put("link", Texts.of("website").link("http://deepoove.com").create());
hashMap.put("anchor", Texts.of("anchortxt").anchor("appendix1").create());


// Network Picture (Note the possible performance impact of network time on the system)
hashMap.put("urlImg", Pictures.ofUrl("http://deepoove.com/images/icecream.png").size(100, 100).create());
// Network Picture (Note the possible performance impact of network time on the system)


// form
// Table with center row 0 and blue background
RowRenderData row0 = Rows.of("Full name", "Education").textColor("FFFFFF")
    .bgColor("4472C4").center().create();
RowRenderData row1 = Rows.create("Li Si", "doctor");
hashMap.put("table", Tables.create(row0, row1));

// Block has instructions for follow-up
hashMap.put("person", true);


// Factory Charts Building Graph Model
ChartMultiSeriesRenderData chart = Charts
    .ofMultiSeries("ChartTitle", new String[] { "Chinese", "English" })
    .addSeries("countries", new Double[] { 15.0, 6.0 })
    .addSeries("speakers", new Double[] { 223.0, 119.0 })
    .create();
hashMap.put("barChart", chart);

3. Execute Rendering Output Document

// Load Template Rendering Data
XWPFTemplate template = XWPFTemplate.compile(fileTempl).render(hashMap);
// Output Results
template.write(new FileOutputStream("E:\\ComTemp\\test generation word\\output.docx"));
template.close();

Get results

Explain

Use {{@...} for rendering pictures

Table: {{#...}

Block pairs:

Block pairs can contain multiple pictures, tables, paragraphs, lists, charts, etc. between the start and end tags. Data is displayed according to the Boolean logic of the block pairs. There are several types:

  • False or empty collection

Hide all document elements in a block

  • Not False and Not Collection

Display document elements in blocks, rendered once

  • Non-empty set

Circular rendering of document elements in blocks, depending on the size of the collection

Chart:

How is a document's graph associated with a data template? The answer is to specify a label name in the text selection.

The above describes the basic use of poi-tl. In fact, poi-tl has many ways to manipulate word depending on your needs. More actions are required to view official documents, including text styles, table styles, plug-in functions, EL expressions, etc., which are highly recommended. Write thoroughly.
