Code samples

Example #1

import { CreateDocx } from "build";
import * as fs from "fs";

const docx = new CreateDocx();

docx.addText("New content.");

docx.save().then(contents => {
    fs.writeFileSync("addText_1.docx", Buffer.from(contents));
});

The resulting Word document looks like:

Example #2

    fontSize: 14,
    text: "New content",
};
const textB: OptionsText = {
    color: "0000FF",
    font: "Times New Roman",
    text: " & other content.",
};
docx.addText([textA, textB]);

docx.save().then(contents => {
