Running Locally

It is a SvelteKit project, so node and any package manager is required.

git clone https://github.com/doomkey/epitome.git
cd epitome
pnpm run dev

Locally, the project is managed via pnpm. However, npm, yarn etc. can also be used.

Templates

The project uses pdfMake for pdf generation. Making a template is rather involving.

Lets call src/lib as $lib from now on.

At first inspect the pre-existing templates in the $lib/templates directory. The templates are named in ALLCAPS. Then begin creating your own template from the available functions. You can refer to the pdfMake documentation.

Please note that you can use the buildEntry() function in the $lib/templates/utils.ts extensively for building section entries.

Suppose you've created a template which exports myAwesomeTemplate. To add the template to the template system in the UI, you have to open $lib/functions/pdfGenerator.ts.

At top, import your template.

// $lib/functions/pdfGenerator.ts
import { myAwesomeTemplate } from '$lib/templates/MYAWESOMETEMPLATE';

Then in some lines below, you will find templates constant. It is used to handle the template list in the customize menu. Add you template here. Keep the value same as the key for consistency.

// $lib/functions/pdfGenerator.ts

export const templates = {
	DEFAULT: { name: 'Default', value: 'DEFAULT' },
	CLASSIC: { name: 'Classic', value: 'CLASSIC' },
	WATERFALL: { name: 'Waterfall', value: 'WATERFALL' },
	
	// ADD THE NEW TEMPLATE HERE  
	MYAWESOMETEMPLATE: {name:"My Awesome Temp", value:"MYAWESOMETEMPLATE"}
};

After that, register your template in the same file like so

registerTemplate(templates.MYAWESOMETEMPLATE.value, myAwesomeTemplate);

Start the server if not already running. Your template should show up in the template list.
