Exercise 7 - How to Populate Details of Images

In this exercise, you'll learn how to export details of images.

We are going to use the notation that allows you to define which sections of the template will be populated for each issue, and which sections will be static:

&{for issues}

Use a Conditional Block #{if...} to indicate whether to iterate or not.

Put the mapping ${Key} to indicate which issues are being populated. 

If the issue doesn't have images, you can display a message instead.

#{if (%{'${ImagesCount}' == 0})}
Doesn't have Images.
#{end}

If the issue has images, you can set the message to display the number of images, along with the image Iteration.

#{if (%{'${ImagesCount}' > 0})}
There are ${ImagesCount} images.

In this case, you don't close the mapping #{end} because we are going to do an iteration before closing the conditional block.

Below it, put the #{for images} or #{for <VariableName>=ImagesCount} statement.

Put the mapping to display an image with max width and max height.

${Images[n].Image|maxwidth=100|maxheight=100}

Now, create a table where the details of the image will be populated:

Finally, close the two statements using the mapping #{end}.

You can also put a conditional block to print only the image that you want. We are going to do an iteration again of #{for images} or #{for <VariableName>=ImagesCount} statement.

Below it, use a conditional block:

#{if (%{"${Images[n].Name}".equals("xporter.png")})}

We are going to put the mapping to display an image with maxwidth and maxheight, so the mapping is ${Images[n].Image|maxwidth=100|maxheight=100}

Close the two statement using the mapping #{end}.

Finally, close the &{for issues} that you opened at the beginning, using the mapping &{end}.

Below is a sample of how the mappings will be displayed in a Word template:

This Template has:

• A header with an image
• Headings
• Text styling
• Table

Below is a sample of how the generated file will be populated:
