E-ticket

Objectives

Generate a ticket with the following features:

• Design layout
• Date formatting
• Currency formatting
• Barcode

Solution

Here’s how to construct a template to achieve this with Carbone:

1. Define the paper size and orientation in the page setup

   • Go to the File menu to access the Page Setup window Set the desired paper size.
     If necessary, create a custom size using the Custom Sizes option.

2. Write the title and create tables to structure your layout

   • Insert Carbone tags as appropriately as possible. Manage the font and formatting to organize your information as desired.
     Note: Ensure proper alignment of cells for better rendering

3. Insert a placeholder to manage the QR Code

   • Insert a temporary image. Right-click on it, go to the View Alt text menu.
   • Use the :barcode formatter to insert a QR code with the following formala: {d[i].travel.ticket:barcode(qrcode)}

4. Number and date manipulation

   • Use the :formatC formatter to manage the currency display, such as {d[i].travel.price:formatC}
   • Use the :formatD formatter to manage the date display, such as {d[i].travel.departure:formatD(LL)} or {d[i].travel.departure:formatD(LT)}. The default pattern follows the ISO 8601 standard.
     Note: You can add spaces within the Carbone tag to improve formula readability and ensure better text wrapping within the cell.

5. Iteration

   • Define the iteration on the next page to enable the iteration to run, with {d[i+1]}

And there you go!
