Rapport aims to provide a robust set of modules to generate HTML reports that both looks good in the browser and when being printed.

Installation

The package can be installed by adding rapport to your list of dependencies in mix.exs:

def deps do
  [
    {:rapport, "~> 0.7"}
  ]
end

Notable features

• Specify paper size for the report
• Specify rotation for the report
• Image helpers
• Font helpers
• Page numbering
• Add custom styling & even Javascript
• Barcodes

Hello world

page_template = "<h1><%= @hello %></h1>"
html_report =
  Rapport.new
  |> Rapport.add_page(page_template, %{hello: "Hello world!"})
  |> Rapport.save_to_file("/home/users/ricn/hello.html")

The snippet above generates a report containing only one page with a heading that says "Hello world!".

Phoenix integration

It's easy to Integrate Rapport with Phoenix. Just load the template as a module attribute, create the HTML for the report and send a response with the generated HTML:

defmodule ReportsWeb.ReportController do
  use ReportsWeb, :controller

  @page_template File.read!(Path.join(__DIR__, "../templates/report/hello.html.eex"))

  def hello(conn, _params) do
    html_report =
       Rapport.new
       |> Rapport.add_page(@page_template, %{hello: "Hello World!"})
       |> Rapport.generate_html

       conn
       |> put_resp_content_type("text/html")
       |> send_resp(200, html_report)
  end
end
