### Examples

Shows how to create a header and a footer.

```js
let doc = new aw.Document();

// Create a header and append a paragraph to it. The text in that paragraph
// will appear at the top of every page of this section, above the main body text.
let header = new aw.HeaderFooter(doc, aw.HeaderFooterType.HeaderPrimary);
doc.firstSection.headersFooters.add(header);

let para = header.appendParagraph("My header.");

expect(header.isHeader).toEqual(true);
expect(para.isEndOfHeaderFooter).toEqual(true);

// Create a footer and append a paragraph to it. The text in that paragraph
// will appear at the bottom of every page of this section, below the main body text.
let footer = new aw.HeaderFooter(doc, aw.HeaderFooterType.FooterPrimary);
doc.firstSection.headersFooters.add(footer);

para = footer.appendParagraph("My footer.");

expect(footer.isHeader).toEqual(false);
expect(para.isEndOfHeaderFooter).toEqual(true);

expect(para.parentStory.referenceEquals(footer)).toEqual(true);
expect(para.parentSection.referenceEquals(footer.parentSection)).toEqual(true);
expect(header.parentSection.referenceEquals(footer.parentSection)).toEqual(true);

doc.save(base.artifactsDir + "HeaderFooter.create.docx");
```

Shows how to delete all footers from a document.

```js
let doc = new aw.Document(base.myDir + "Header and footer types.docx");

// Iterate through each section and remove footers of every kind.
for (let section of doc.sections.toArray())
{
  // There are three kinds of footer and header types.
  // 1 -  The "First" header/footer, which only appears on the first page of a section.
  let footer = section.headersFooters.getByHeaderFooterType(aw.HeaderFooterType.FooterFirst);
  footer.remove();

  // 2 -  The "Primary" header/footer, which appears on odd pages.
  footer = section.headersFooters.getByHeaderFooterType(aw.HeaderFooterType.FooterPrimary);
  footer.remove();

  // 3 -  The "Even" header/footer, which appears on even pages. 
  footer = section.headersFooters.getByHeaderFooterType(aw.HeaderFooterType.FooterEven);
  footer.remove();

  let count = section.headersFooters.toArray().filter((hf) => !hf.isHeader).length;
  expect(count).toEqual(0);
}

doc.save(base.artifactsDir + "HeaderFooter.RemoveFooters.docx");
```
