E-ticket

Objectives

You want to generate a ticket with the following features:

• Design layout
• Date formatting
• Currency formatting

Solution

Here’s how you can achieve this using Carbone:

1. Define the paper size and orientation in the page set up

   Go to the File menu to access the Page Setup window and set the paper size.
   Create a new size using Custom Sizes if needed.

2. Write the title and draw tables to structure your pagination

   Pay attention to the alignment of cells for better rendering

3. Insert a placeholder to manage QRcode

   Use the following formula in the Alt Text of the placeholder to insert a QR Code: {d[i].travel.ticket:barcode(qrcode)}

4. Number and date manipulation

   Use :formatC formatter to manage the currency display Use :formatD formatter to manage the date display. The default pattern follows the ISO 8601 standard

   You can add spaces within the Carbone tag to improve formula readability and ensure better text wrapping within the cell.

5. Iteration

   Define [i+1] on the next page to enable the iteration to run

And there you go!
