Print Format

A PrintFormat represents an HTML template that is used to create a printer-friendly version of the DocType.

Creating a Print Format:

To make a printer friendly version, you must create a "PrintFormat" for the doctype.

Example:

module.exports = {
    doctype: "PrintFormat",
    name: "Standard Invoice Format",
    for: "Invoice",
    template: require('./invoice.html')
}

This must be referenced in the print.printFormat property of the DocType.

    "print": {
        "printFormat": "Standard Invoice Format",
    },

Templating:

The templating system used by frappe is nunjucks and is very similar to Jinja2 system from Python

Example:

<h1>{{ doc.name }}</h1>
<div class="row py-4">
    <div class="col-6">
        <div><b>{{ frappe._("Customer") }}</b></div>
        <div>{{ doc.customer }}</div>
    </div>
    <div class="col-6">
        <div><b>{{ frappe._("Date") }}</b></div>
        <div>{{ frappe.format(doc.date, 'Date') }}</div>
    </div>
</div>
<table class="table table-bordered">
    <thead>
        <tr>
            <th></th>
            <th>{{ frappe._("Item") }}</th>
            <th class='text-right'>{{ frappe._("Qty") }}</th>
            <th class='text-right'>{{ frappe._("Rate") }}</th>
            <th class='text-right'>{{ frappe._("Amount") }}</th>
        </tr>
    </thead>
    <tbody>
        {% for row in doc.items %}
        <tr>
            <td class='text-right'>{{ row.idx + 1 }}</td>
            <td>{{ row.item }}<br>{{ frappe.format(row.description, 'Text') }}</td>
            <td class='text-right'>{{ row.quantity }}</td>
            <td class='text-right'>{{ frappe.format(row.rate, 'Currency') }}</td>
            <td class='text-right'>{{ frappe.format(row.amount, 'Currency') }}</td>
        </tr>
        {% endfor %}
    </tbody>

            <div class='col-6 text-right'>

        {% for tax in doc.taxes %}
        <div class='row'>
            <div class='col-6'>
                {{ tax.account }} ({{ tax.rate }}%)
            </div>
            <div class='col-6 text-right'>
                {{ frappe.format(tax.amount, 'Currency')}}
            </div>
        </div>
        {% endfor %}
        <div class='row py-3'>
                <div class='col-6'>
                    <h5>{{ frappe._("Grand Total") }}</h5>
                </div>
                <div class='col-6 text-right'>
                    <h5>{{ frappe.format(doc.grandTotal, 'Currency')}}</h5>
