Adding custom field does not affect output.

[phtmgt]

Using the below code from instructions:

const paymentId = {
  key: 'invoice_header_paymentId_value',
  value: '123 - test value'
};
const phrases = ['invoice_header_payment_reference', paymentId];
invoice.getInvoice(phrases).toPDF()

produces no changes in output. Am I missing something?

Thanks.

Sounds tedious, but have you tried manually adding fields after instantialization, as per the docs?

const invoice = invoiceIt.create();
 
invoice.recipient.company_name = 'Receiver company';
invoice.recipient.first_name = 'Will';
. . . .

Hello @plamenh ,

Did you tried it ?

Note: 🙏 Thank you @mkhoussid 🚀

Yeah, this has been working all along, but anyways, I was talking about the ‘phrases’ part. It produces no difference to the output. What is it supposed to do?

Anyone found solution?

@ahabibovic1 Just use the class methods instead. I don't think this has been fixed (seems it's not worth the effort, given that class methods work). In the end I forked the repo and did all the changes and improvements that we needed myself. It's not hard, code is not complicated and is relatively clear how it works.

@plamenh Thank you. Started doing the same thing.

@plamenh or anyone else interested, this is solution:

const object = {
    key: 'key_name',
    value: '[email protected]'
  };

  const phrases = ['key_name', object];   // key has to match with one defined above
  const invoice = invoiceIt.create(recipient, emitter, phrases);
  invoice.getInvoice(phrases).toPDF()

Of course you need to override default template file if you want to show custom fields in generated files.
