Templating Client-Side inserting

Frappe Framework
1

Hello there,

I am fairly new to Frappe/ERPNext. I am trying to deliver a html template to a doctype, but I can’t find how it is done. What I have done so far:

  1. Create the html-template in the app’s public/js/templates/template_name.html

  2. Add it to the build in public/build.json as
    { “mymodule/js/mymodule.min.js” : [ “public/js/templates/template_name.html”] }

  3. Add the reference in hooks.py : app_include_js = “/assets/mymodule/js/mymodule.min.js”

  4. bench build & bench clear-cache

  5. My DocType has a html field with the name chart. I edit the my_doctype.

frappe.ui.form.on(‘DocType Name’, {
refresh(frm){
frm.set_df_property(‘chart’, ‘options’, [frappe.render_template(“template_name.html”, {jinja_var: “Hello World”})]);
frm.refresh_field(‘chart’)

It is not working though… I have searched for hours but can’t get it running.

Anybody?

Hi Canlann,

Maybe you want to lookup ‘Print format’ if I am not misunderstanding.

Bench build with hooks is for customization of public css/js.

Hey thanks for you reply,

no I am not looking for printing templates. I am looking for custom html templates

In that case, you don’t need to use bench build with hooks change.

Example in ERP:

In js file, use frappe.render_template, and create the HTML template within the doctype folder, you should be able to pass the variables as well. (for custom doctype in your own app)

But I am not sure how you can attach a custom HTML template in a customized app for an existing doctype. Maybe check other frappe API.
