This plugin enables docxtemplater to embed hyperlinks - either emails or URLS to be embedded in docx files.

• A docxtemplater object stores all the files as an array in its doc.zip.files property

First module for docxtemplater.

You will need docxtemplater v1: npm install docxtemplater@beta

install this module: npm install docxtemplater-link-module

Your docx should contain the text: {! link }

LinkModule=require(‘docxtemplater-link-module’)

linkModule=new LinkModule({centered:false})

docx=new DocxGen()
    .attachModule(linkModule)
    .load(content)
    .setData({
      link: {
        text: "Steve Jobs",
        link: '[email protected]'
      }})
    .render()

buffer= docx
        .getZip()
        .generate({type:"nodebuffer"})

fs.writeFile("test.docx",buffer);

For the link-replacer to work, the link tag: {! link } needs to be in its own <w:p>, so that means that you have to put a new line after and before the tag.

You can build the coffee into js by running gulp (this will watch the directory for changes)

You can test that everything works fine using the command mocha. This will also create 3 docx files under the root directory that you can open to check if the docx are correct

• Try to handle links that occur in the midst of other content
• Settle on a better syntax?
• Handle a subject field for email links
