Godocx

Godocx is a library written in pure Go providing a set of functions that allow you to write to and read from Docx file.

This library needs Go version 1.18 or later. The usage documentation for the godocx can be accessed via the Godocx Documentation Page.

In depth, go docs can be seen using go's built-in documentation tool, or online at go.dev. Please refer the subpackage docx for the list of functions that can be used.

Usage

Here's a simple example of how you can use Godocx to create and modify DOCX documents:

Installation

Use the godocx in your project

go get github.com/gomutex/godocx

Examples

package main

import (
	"log"

	"github.com/gomutex/godocx"
)

func main() {
		// Open an existing DOCX document
	// document, err := godocx.OpenDocument("./testdata/test.docx")

	// Create New Document
	document, err := godocx.NewDocument()
	if err != nil {
		log.Fatal(err)
	}

	document.AddHeading("Document Title", 0)

	// Add a new paragraph to the document
	p := document.AddParagraph("A plain paragraph having some ")
	p.AddText("bold").Bold(true)
	p.AddText(" and some ")
	p.AddText("italic.").Italic(true)

	document.AddHeading("Heading, level 1", 1)
	document.AddParagraph("Intense quote").Style("Intense Quote")
	document.AddParagraph("first item in unordered list").Style("List Bullet")
	document.AddParagraph("first item in ordered list").Style("List Number")

	records := []struct{ Qty, ID, Desc string }{{"5", "A001", "Laptop"}, {"10", "B202", "Smartphone"}, {"2", "E505", "Smartwatch"}}

	table := document.AddTable()
	table.Style("LightList-Accent4")
	hdrRow := table.AddRow()
	hdrRow.AddCell().AddParagraph("Qty")
	hdrRow.AddCell().AddParagraph("ID")
	hdrRow.AddCell().AddParagraph("Description")

	for _, record := range records {
		row := table.AddRow()
		row.AddCell().AddParagraph(record.Qty)
		row.AddCell().AddParagraph(record.ID)
		row.AddCell().AddParagraph(record.Desc)
	}

	// Save the modified document to a new file
	err = document.SaveTo("demo.docx")
	if err != nil {
		log.Fatal(err)
	}
}
