[C4GT] User Interface for Doc Generator

[ChakshuGautam]

Project Details

Doc Generator is a tool to create PDFs from a variety of formats. It is used extensively in our programs where we need to share a PDF report of some data. Be it class reports, student reports or usage numbers of our solutions.

Templater a REST API service that can store, manage and render templates. A Template is like a well-defined format in which data can be entered. The output generated is according to the format defined in the template. Templater helps us simplify and enhance this process by providing multiple services such as Data transformation, Lambda API, Templater Playground, Support for multiple engines, etc.

Currently doc generator has its own backend. Moving to Templater as a backend will allow us to benefit from all the development happening at Templater in real time. It would also allow us to spend time on features other than input processing which would be powered by Templater.
