Generate documents for other templates

[hienphan161]

Hi team. Can I use this repository to generate synthetic documents for other templates (other than one of your 9 templates)? If so, what steps do I need to take?

Hi,

Yes, it's possible to achieve this. You can refer to the contents in the pp_td3_a directory for inspiration.

First, generate a file named front.svg. All the configurations you want should be within the <g id="Textes"> group. You can define the fields you want to generate. For example, for a family_name field, you can create an element like this:

<text id="family_name_field" transform="translate(102 43.65)">
  <tspan class="cls-110" x="0" y="8.4">Family name and given names (line 1)</tspan>
</text>

Do this for every field you need.

Next, define a generator.json file to specify the provider for each field. The names should match the text IDs in the SVG file but without the _field suffix. For example, for the family_name_field, it would look something like this:

{
  "name": "family_name",
  "type": "name",
  "provider": {
    "__class__": "faker.providers.person.{name_locale}.Provider",
    "init_context": {
      "generator": "generator"
    },
    "__method__": "last_name_{gender}"
  },
  "parts": {
    "1": 0.85,
    "2": 0.15
  },
  "separator": "-",
  "max_chars_per_line": 24,
  "lines": 1
}

There are many possible arguments, but the mandatory ones are the name, type, and provider. You can use a faker provider if you prefer not to code them yourself.

Unfortunately, we don't have the time to create a proper guide for this process, so you'll need to look into the code and figure it out as you go.
