# The template ID, it could be an ODT, DOCX, PPTX, XLSX, ODS file, etc...
template_id = "template"
render_options = {
# REQUIRED: the "data" object contains all the data to inject into the template
"data": {
"id": 42,
"date": 1492012745,
"company": {
"name": "myCompany",
"address": "here",
"city": "Notfar",
"postalCode": 123456
},
"customer": {
"name":"myCustomer",
"address":"there",
"city":"Faraway",
"postalCode":654321
},
"products":[
{"name":"product 1","priceUnit":0.1,"quantity":10,"priceTotal":1}
],
"total":140
},
# REQUIRED: the "convertTo" attribute defines the format to generate or convert
"convertTo":"pdf"
# All rendering options are available on the following API specification:
# https://carbone.io/api-reference.html#pdf-export-filter-options
}
# Render and return the report as bytes and a unique report name
report_bytes, unique_report_name = csdk.render(template_id, render_options)
fd = open(unique_report_name, "wb")
fd.write(report_bytes)
fd.close()
# voila 🎉

## Tests
### Tests - Run with Makefile
Install the test packages:
```shell
$ make install
```
To run the tests:
```shell
$ make test
```
To uninstall the test packages:
```shell
$ make uninstall
```
### Tests - Run manually
Install:
```
$ pip install pytest
$ pip install requests_mock
```
To run all the test (-v for verbose output):
```shell
$ pytest -s -v tests
```
To run a groupe of tests:
```shell
$ pytest -s -v ./tests/test_carbone_sdk.py::TestRender
```
To run a single test:
```shell
$ pytest -s -v ./tests/test_carbone_sdk.py::TestRender::test_render_a_report_error_file_missing
```
To run a single test with all the DEBUG:
```
$ pytest ./tests/test_carbone_sdk.py::TestRender::test_render_a_report_from_an_existing_template_id --log-cli-level=10
```
If you need to test the generation of templateId, you can use the nodejs `main.js` to test the sha256 generation.
```bash
$ node ./tests/main.js
```
