PDF Generator app

Normalization

The normalizer will render product data values by using the linked template context.

{{ normalize('attribute_code', 'context', 'productData') }}

Parameters:

Global attribute

Global attribute values are the easiest to render, no locale is given.

{

    'storage': [{

        locale: null,

        scope: null,

        data: {

            'unit': GIGABYTE,

            'amount': 64

    }]

}

result: 64 GIGABYTE

{{ normalize('storage', {'map': ['GIGABYTE': 'GB']}) }}

result: 64 GB

Scopable attribute

{

    'description': [

    {

        locale: null,

        scope: nl_BE,

        data: 'dutch description'

    },

    {

        locale: null,

        scope: fr_BE,

        data: 'french description'

    }

    ]

}

# relevant template context

{

    'locale': 'nl_BE'

}

{{ normalize('description') }}

result: dutch description

{{ normalize('description', {'locale': 'fr_BE'}) }}

result: french description

Attributes with code references

Akeneo has a couple of attribute types that have code values.

The PDF generator will always normalize these attribute types to the label assigned to the code reference.

example:

{

    'color': [

    {

        locale: null,

        scope: null,

        data: 'red'

    }

}

# relevant template context

{

    'locale': 'nl_BE'

}

result: rood

The value comes from the attribute label option, it’s part of a transformation flow, more here TODO.

Summarize

Summarize is a function that will inherit all of it’s options from normalize but with the attribute codes comma separated.

If the attribute holds no value it will not be rendered.

your attributes will share the same context, so if you need to specify context per attribute use the group function instead.

Parameters

Context

Group

Grouping is nothing more then a list presenter of specific attributes.

Group function will only render actual values in a separated list.

You can supply as many values as you want.

Parameters

Context
