    Resolved :

     

    I have first get the external template, then insert the variables and create a copy with the variables.

    Finally, insert the new template with the variables in my docx

     

      $externalDocx = new CreateDocxFromTemplate(public_path() . '/templates/external file.docx');


     

            $externalVariables = array(

                'TIMEESTIMATED' => $request->get('DescriptionSheet')['timeEstimated'],

                'HOURLYRATE' => $request->get('PriceInfo')['hourPrice'],

                'TOTALCOST' => $request->get('PriceInfo')['totalCoast'],

                'DISCOUNT' => $request->get('PriceInfo')['reductionAmount'],

                'HOURLYRATEDISCOUNT' => $request->get('PriceInfo')['hourlyRateDiscounted']

            );

            $externalDocx->replaceVariableByText($externalVariables );

            $externalDocx->createDocx(public_path() . '/templates/external file edit.docx');

     

            $docx->replaceVariableByExternalFile(array('EXTERNALFILE' => public_path() . '/templates/external file edit.docx'), array('matchSource' => true));
