Examples

Shows how to insert a field into a document using a field code.

doc = aw.Document()
builder = aw.DocumentBuilder(doc)
field = builder.insert_field('DATE \\@ "dddd, MMMM dd, yyyy"')
self.assertEqual(aw.fields.FieldType.FIELD_DATE, field.type)
self.assertEqual('DATE \\@ "dddd, MMMM dd, yyyy"', field.get_field_code())
# This overload of the "insert_field" method automatically updates inserted fields.
self.assertAlmostEqual(datetime.datetime.strptime(field.result, '%A, %B %d, %Y'), datetime.datetime.now(), delta=timedelta(1))

Shows how to work with a FieldStart node.

doc = aw.Document()
builder = aw.DocumentBuilder(doc)
field = builder.insert_field(aw.fields.FieldType.FIELD_DATE, True).as_field_date()
field.format.date_time_format = 'dddd, MMMM dd, yyyy'
field.update()
field_start = field.start
self.assertEqual(aw.fields.FieldType.FIELD_DATE, field_start.field_type)
self.assertFalse(field_start.is_dirty)
self.assertFalse(field_start.is_locked)
# Retrieve the facade object which represents the field in the document.
field = field_start.get_field().as_field_date()
self.assertFalse(field.is_locked)
self.assertEqual(' DATE  \\@ "dddd, MMMM dd, yyyy"', field.get_field_code())
# Update the field to show the current date.
