Attaching modules

Since version 3.7.0, released in February 2023, you can include modules using the --modules flag

To use this flag, you first need to create a file on your file system like this :

In this file you need to export an Array of all modules that you want to include

my-modules.js

const ImageModule = require("docxtemplater-image-module");
const imageOpts = {
  centered: false,
  getImage: function (tagValue, tagName) {
    return fs.readFileSync(tagValue);
  },
  getSize: function (img, tagValue, tagName) {
    // it also is possible to return a size in centimeters, like this : return [ "2cm", "3cm" ];
    return [150, 150];
  },
};
module.exports = [new ImageModule(imageOpts)];

Then, in your calling code, use it like this :

docxtemplater --modules my-modules.js input.docx data.json output.docx
