Overview

Generate invoices using Python, Weasyprint and YAML. We populate HTML invoice templates with data from a YAML file.

Usage

See ./buildpdf.py --help:

HTML Template Format

The HTML templates and their corresponding stylesheet(s) define how the invoice document looks and feels. The program supports the following data bindings in the HTML template:

Standalone:

• {{from.name}}
• {{from.street}}
• {{from.postcode}}
• {{from.city}}
• {{to.name}}
• {{to.street}}
• {{to.postcode}}
• {{to.city}}
• {{@root.currency}}
• {{tax_rate}}
• {{total_net_price}}
• {{totals.net}}
• {{totals.tax}}
• {{totals.gross}}

Contained within {{#positions}} {{/positions}} iterator:

• {{pos_number}}
• {{{text}}}
• {{amount}}
• {{net_price}}

YML Format

We populate our HTML files with YML files. The format of the YML files is as follows:

from:
    name: str
    street: str
    postcode: str
    city: str

to:
    name: str
    street: str
    postcode: str
    city: str

customer_number: str
currency: float
tax_rate: float
invoice:
    number: str
    date: mm.dd.yyy
    pay_until_date: mm.dd.yyy

positions:
    - net_price: float
      amount: int
      text: str
     
    - ...
    
    - ...
