How to insert a link in docx in docxtemplator 3.0?

[zmaks100]

Looks like there is a solution for inserting links for docxtemplator 2.0 using docxtemplater-link-module. But this module doesn't work with docxtemplator 3.0:

Uncaught Error: This module cannot be wrapped, because it doesn't define any of the necessary functions
    at ./node_modules/docxtemplater/js/module-wrapper.js.module.exports (module-wrapper.js:25)

I wonder whether docxtemplator 3.0 provides link support out-of-the-box? Or is there a guidance how to convert modules from v2 to v3?

I think the module should support v2 as well as v3.

You have to write :

var LinkModule = require('docxtemplater-link-module');
var linkModule = new LinkModule();
var docx = new DocxGen()
	.attachModule(linkModule)

You probably forgot the new

Hmmm. The changelog.md clearly says 'The module system was completely changed, no compatibility is kept between version 2 and version 3, please make sure to update your modules if needed.'. I also can see active issue for this link module: issue.

Here is my sample:

    public static GenerateReport(): void {
        let content = fs.readFileSync(path.resolve("./", "./test/assets/input.docx"), "binary");
        let zip = new JSZip(content);
        let doc = new Docxtemplater();
        let linkModule = new LinkModule();
        doc.attachModule(linkModule);
        doc.loadZip(zip);

        //set the templateVariables
        doc.setData({
            first_name: "John",
            last_name: "Doe",
            phone: "0652455478",
            description: "New Website",
            treatmentIssues: [
                {
                    fact: 'The first fact',
                    source: 'https://bing.com'
                }
            ]
        });

Docxtemplator throws an error from attachModule saying that it didn't find any important functions. They are indeed not there.

Double checking - does Docxtemplator v3 supports modules written for v2?

PS: new is there :)

Ok indeed, I see, you're right, the two modules systems are incompatible.

In the link-module, you have functions defined as :

get, handle, and handleEvent. Those were the v2 API methods.

The current API methods are render, parse, postparse, ... (see https://github.com/open-xml-templating/docxtemplater/blob/master/es6/module-wrapper.js#L6 for full list)

You can find example modules on https://github.com/open-xml-templating/docxtemplater/blob/master/es6/modules/render.js (they are other modules in these directories).
