Contract Builder

Let's create a contract! Oh, boy. What a boring task. Spending hours copying and pasting the same information over and over again, changing names, IDs, addresses, multiple typos. Gosh.

"I realized that document automation was a way to save time and increase consistency while reducing errors in documents. So with document automation, I create documents that look professional each and every time. By automating that process rather than recreating it for every document, I’m able to eliminate the errors."

TESTED ONLY ON GOOGLE CHROME

About

Contract Builder is a free open-source project that allows anyone to easily maintain and build any kind of contract (legal documents, lawsuit, rent, agreements, construction and so on) using Google Spreadsheets. This was develop as a personal project to help a friend who was struggling spending up to an hour to make a custom contract, now she is able to do it in less than 5 minutes. Hooray! TRY IT NOW.

Features

  • Parse data from Google Spreadsheet or .xls file
  • Use Rich Text to enhance your contract
  • 5 different types of "blocks"
    • Title
    • Subtitle
    • Paragraph
    • List
    • Page Break
  • Download the contract as .docx

Usage

First of all you need to create a Google Spreadsheet following the same rules as this one (you can make a copy if you like) and populate with your contract informations.

  • id: The identification of the row, it can be anything but must be unique
  • description: Short description of the row
  • content: The actual content that will appear on the contract. Use HTML tags to format this content
  • type: Type of the block
    • title: A title for the contract
    • title-center: A centralized title for the contract
    • subtitle: A subtitle for the contract
    • subtitle-center: A centralized subtitle for the contract
    • paragraph: A paragraph for the contract
    • paragraph-center: A centralized paragraph for the contract
    • page-break: A page break
    • list: A basic list
    • numeric-list: A list with a incremented number before it
    • circle-list: A list with a circle before it
    • square-list: A list with a square before it
  • depends: Put the identification (id) of the row that this row must belong
  • mandatory: Make the row mandatory, meaning it will not ask to be added to the contract
  • disabled: Disable row

So whenever you want a part of the contract to be only available when certain other part is on the contract, you should use the depends field. One row can depend of another row that also depends on another and so on. Use your creativity.

Libraries

So a big thanks to all the developers that worked really hard on these libs and make our day easier :D and also a big thanks to cdnjs.com and jsdelivr.com for hosting those libs for us.

Deployment

Run npm run build then copy the dist/ folder into your website root directory. Done.

Example

You can create complex tree decisions using the field depends. The following JSON is a result of this Google Spreadsheet. For a better view of the JSON click here.
