Placeholders

Placeholders are tags inside your .docx template. Templi parses them and expects a matching JSON payload.

Tag syntax​

  • Text: {{name}}
  • Picture: {{@logo}}
  • Table: {{#table}}
  • List: {{*items}}

Payload shape (high level)​

Each field is an object with a type and its data.

{
  "title": {
    "type": "text",
    "text": "Quarterly Report"
  },
  "logo": {
    "type": "picture",
    "pictureType": "PNG",
    "url": "https://example.com/logo.png",
    "pictureStyle": {"width": 120, "height": 40}
  }
}

Notes​

  • Use lowercase types in payloads: text, picture, table, list.
  • Templates with missing fields return a validation error.
  • Tables and lists accept nested content (text and images).
