docxtemplater
docxtemplater is a library to generate docx documents from a docx template. It can replace tags by their values and replace images with other images. It is very user oriented as users can without a lot of programming knowledge create their first template and automatically change variables in it.

The full documentation can be found on read the docs.

Quickstart
Installation: npm install docxtemplater
var Docxtemplater= require('docxtemplater');
//loading the file
var docx=new Docxtemplater().loadFromFile("tagExample.docx");
//setting the tags
docx.setTags({"name":"Edgar"});
//apply the tags
docx.applyTags();
//output the docx using dataUri or fs in Node
docx.output();
You can download tagExample.docx and put it in the same folder than your script.
Have version 0.6.3 or less and using the qrcode module ? You probably have a security issue. See upgrade.md
Similar libraries
They are a few similar libraries that work with docx, here’s a list of those I know a bit about:
- docx4j :JAVA, this is probably the biggest docx library out there. They is no built in templating engine, but you can generate your docx yourself programmatically
- docx.js: Javascript in the browser, you can create (not modify) your docx from scratch, but only do very simple things such as adding non formatted text
Known issues
Todo:
- Incompatibility with IE: Error : SCRIPT5022: End of stream reached (stream length = 14578, asked index = 18431). Corrupted zip ?
- Use FileSaver API for output http://eligrey.com/blog/post/saving-generated-files-on-the-client-side
