13 https://angularjs.org[Angular JS] to a certain extent.

73 === Formatting Receipts ===
75 Print templates use variables for various pieces of information coming from the
76 Evergreen database. These variables deal with everything from the library name
77 to the due date of an item. Information from the database is entered in the
78 templates with curly brackets `+{{term}}+`.
80 Example: `{{checkout.title}}`
82 Some print templates have sections that are repeated for each item in a list.
83 For example, the portion of the Checkout print template below repeats every item
84 that is checked out in HTML list format by means of the 'ng-repeat' in the li
89 <li ng-repeat="checkout in circulations">
90 <b>{{checkout.title}}</b><br/>
91 Barcode: {{checkout.copy.barcode}}<br/>
92 Due: {{checkout.circ.due_date | date:"short"}}<br/>
97 === Text Formatting ===
99 General text formatting
100 |========================================================================================
101 | Goal | Original | Code | Result
102 | Bold (HTML) | hello | <b>hello</b> | *hello*
103 | Bold (CSS) | hello | <span style="font-weight:bold;">hello</span> | *hello*
104 | Capitalize | circulation | <span style="text-transform:capitalize;">circulation</span> | Circulation
105 | Currency | 1 | {{1 \| currency}} | $1.00
106 |========================================================================================
108 === Date Formatting ===
110 If you do not format dates, they will appear in a system format which isn't
113 |===================================================
115 |+{{today}}+ | 2017-08-01T14:18:51.445Z
116 |+{{today \| date:'short'}}+ | 8/1/17 10:18 AM
117 |+{{today \| date:'M/d/yyyy'}}+ | 8/1/2017
118 |===================================================
120 === Currency Formatting ===
122 Add " | currency" after any dollar amount that you wish to display as currency.
125 `{{xact.summary.balance_owed | currency}}` prints as `$2.50`
128 === Conditional Formatting ===
130 You can use Angular JS to only print a line if the data matches. For example:
132 `<div ng-if="hold.email_notify == 't'">Notify by email: {{patron.email}}</div>`
134 This will only print the "Notify by email:" line if email notification is
135 enabled for that hold.
137 Example for checkout print template that will only print the amount a patron
138 owes if there is a balance:
140 `<span ng-if="patron_money.balance_owed">You owe the library
141 ${{patron_money.balance_owed}}</span>`
143 See also: https://docs.angularjs.org/api/ng/directive/ngIf
147 To print just a sub-string of a variable, you can use a *limitTo* function.
148 `{{variable | limitTo:limit:begin}}` where *limit* is the number of characters
149 you are wanting, and *begin* (optional) is where you want to start printing
150 those characters. To limit the variable to the first four characters, you can
151 use `{{variable | limitTo:4}}` to get "vari". To limit to the last five
152 characters you can use `{{variable | limitTo:-5}}` to get "iable". And
153 `{{variable | limitTo:3:3}}` will produce "ria".
155 |========================================================================================
156 | Original | Code | Result
157 | The Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants | {{checkout.title \| limitTo:10}} | The Sisterhood of th
158 | 123456789 | {{patron.card.barcode \| limitTo:-5}} | 56789
159 | Roberts | {{patron.family_name \| limitTo:3:3}} | ber

165 You can use HTML and CSS to add an image to your print template if you have the
166 image uploaded onto a publicly available web server. (It will currently only
167 work with images on a secure (https) site.) For example:
170 src="https://evergreen-ils.org/wp-content/uploads/2013/09/copy-Evergreen_Logo_sm072.jpg"
171 style="width:150px;padding:5px;">`
175 You can sort the items in an ng-repeat block using orderBy. For example, the
176 following will sort a list of holds by the shelving location first, then by the
179 `<tr ng-repeat="hold_data in holds | orderBy :
180 ['copy.location.name','volume.label']">`
184 You can use Angular JS to add information from each iteration of a loop together
185 to create a subtotal. This involves setting an initial variable before the
186 ng-repeat loop begins, adding an amount to that variable from within each loop,
187 and then displaying the final amount at the end.
190 <div>You checked out the following items:</div>
192 <div ng-init="transactions.subtotal=0"> <!--1-->
194 <div ng-repeat="checkout in circulations">
195 <li ng-init="transactions.subtotal=transactions.subtotal -- checkout.copy.price"> <!--2-->
196 <b>{{checkout.title}}</b><br/>
197 Barcode: {{checkout.copy.barcode}}<br/>
198 Due: {{checkout.circ.due_date | date:"M/d/yyyy"}}
202 <div style="font-weight:bold;">Total Amount Owed: {{patron_money.balance_owed | currency}}</div>
203 <div style="font-weight:bold;border:1px dotted black; padding:5px;text-align:center;">
205 {{transactions.subtotal | currency}}<br/> <!--3-->
206 by borrowing from the library!</div>
208 <1> This line sets the variable.
209 <2> This adds the list item's price to the variable.
210 <3> This prints the total of the variable.
212 == Exporting and importing Customized Receipts ==
214 Once you have your receipts set up on one machine you can export your receipts,
215 and then load them on to another machine. Just remember to *Save Locally*
216 once you import the receipts on the new machine.
218 === Exporting templates ===
219 As you can only save a template on to the computer you are working on you will
220 need to export the template if you have more than one computer that prints out
221 receipts (i.e., more than one computer on the circulation desk, or another
222 computer in the workroom that you use to checkin items or capture holds with).
224 Please be aware that when you export, you are exporting all templates to one file.
227 . Select the location to save the template to, name the template, and click
231 === Importing Templates ===
234 . Navigate to and select the template that you want to import. Click Open.
236 . Click *Save Locally*.
240 WARNING: Clearing your browser's cache/temporary files will clear any print
241 template customizations that you make unless you are using Hatch to store your
242 customizations. Be sure to export a copy of your customizations as a backup so
243 that you can import it as needed.
245 TIP: If you are modifying your templates and you do not see the updates appear
246 on your printed receipt, you may need to go into *Administration -> Workstation
247 -> Stored Preferences* and delete the stored preferences related to the print
248 template that you modified (for example, eg.print.template_context.bills_current).
