Usage
# Write typst markup
template = """
= Current Employees
This is a report showing the company's current employees.
#table(
columns: (auto, 1fr, auto, auto),
[*No*], [*Name*], [*Salary*], [*Age*],
<%= employees %>
)
"""
# Create some data
defmodule Helper do
@names ["John", "Nathalie", "Joe", "Jane", "Tyler"]
@surnames ["Smith", "Johnson", "Williams", "Brown", "Jones", "Davis"]
def build_employees(n) do
for n <- 1..n do
name = "#{Enum.random(@names)} #{Enum.random(@surnames)}"
salary = "US$ #{Enum.random(1000..15_000) / 1}"
[n, name, salary, Enum.random(16..60)]
end
end
end
# Convert it to a nice-looking PDF
{:ok, pdf_binary} = ExTypst.render_to_pdf(template,
employees: ExTypst.Format.table_content(Helper.build_employees(1_000))
)
# Write to disk
File.write!("employees.pdf", pdf_binary)
# Or maybe send via email
Bamboo.Email.put_attachment(email, %Bamboo.Attachment{data: pdf_binary, filename: "employees.pdf"})
