Examples
Shows how to display a building block with AUTOTEXT and GLOSSARY fields.
doc = aw.Document()
# Create a glossary document and add an AutoText building block to it.
doc.glossary_document = aw.buildingblocks.GlossaryDocument()
building_block = aw.buildingblocks.BuildingBlock(doc.glossary_document)
building_block.name = 'MyBlock'
building_block.gallery = aw.buildingblocks.BuildingBlockGallery.AUTO_TEXT
building_block.category = 'General'
building_block.description = 'MyBlock description'
building_block.behavior = aw.buildingblocks.BuildingBlockBehavior.PARAGRAPH
doc.glossary_document.append_child(building_block)
# Create a source and add it as text to our building block.
building_block_source = aw.Document()
building_block_source_builder = aw.DocumentBuilder(doc=building_block_source)
building_block_source_builder.writeln('Hello World!')
building_block_content = doc.glossary_document.import_node(src_node=building_block_source.first_section, is_import_children=True)
building_block.append_child(building_block_content)
# Set a file which contains parts that our document, or its attached template may not contain.
doc.field_options.built_in_templates_paths = [MY_DIR + 'Busniess brochure.dotx']
builder = aw.DocumentBuilder(doc=doc)
# Below are two ways to use fields to display the contents of our building block.
# 1 - Using an AUTOTEXT field:
field_auto_text = builder.insert_field(field_type=aw.fields.FieldType.FIELD_AUTO_TEXT, update_field=True).as_field_auto_text()
field_auto_text.entry_name = 'MyBlock'
self.assertEqual(' AUTOTEXT MyBlock', field_auto_text.get_field_code())
# 2 - Using a GLOSSARY field:
field_glossary = builder.insert_field(field_type=aw.fields.FieldType.FIELD_GLOSSARY, update_field=True).as_field_glossary()
field_glossary.entry_name = 'MyBlock'
self.assertEqual(' GLOSSARY MyBlock', field_glossary.get_field_code())
doc.update_fields()
doc.save(file_name=ARTIFACTS_DIR + 'Field.AUTOTEXT.GLOSSARY.dotx')
