Header and Footer With Table

Before you begin #

You should get your API key from your UniCloud account.

If this is your first time using UniOffice SDK, follow this guide to set up a local development environment.

Clone the project repository #

In your terminal, clone the examples repository. It contains the Go code we will be using for this guide.

git clone https://github.com/unidoc/unioffice-examples

To get the example navigate to the path document/header-footer-with-table folder in the unioffice-examples directory.

cd unioffice-examples/document/header-footer-with-table

How it works #

The example code starts by importing the necessary libraries in the import section, lines 9-19. The init function defined in lines 21-25, initializes the package by setting the license API key using license.SetMeteredKey(os.Getenv(`UNIDOC_LICENSE_API_KEY`)).

The main function is defined in lines 30-127. First, a new document is instantiated in line 31 using document.New(). The AddHeader method of the Header object is used to get a document.Header object. The code block in lines 38-65 contains the code used to add a table to the obtained header.

First, a table is created using AddTable method of Header object. Then the table properties are set in lines 41-46. This includes a setting width, alignment, and borders. Then the content of the table is set in lines 49-64. For more details on how tables and their contents are created, check this guide on table. The header is then set in line 67 using:

 doc.BodySection().SetHeader(hdr, wml.ST_HdrFtrDefault)

In line 70, a footer is created using doc.AddFooter(). Then another code block 73-113 is defined where the the table for the footer is created. The process is the same as the header’s table. Except, in this part there is an image content. In line 115, the footer is set using:

doc.BodySection().SetFooter(ftr, wml.ST_HdrFtrDefault)

Then lines 118-121, the content of the body is added.

Finally, the document is saved to file using doc.SaveToFile("header-footer-with-table.docx").

Run the code #

Use the following command to run the example code inside the header-footer-with-table folder.

go run main.go
