Lab Results

This guide will show how to create a sample lab result document using the creator templates.

Before you begin #

Before you begin, you should get your API key from your UniCloud account.

If this is your first time using UniPDF SDK, follow this guide to setup 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/unipdf-examples.git

Navigate to the templates/lab-results folder in the unipdf-examples directory.

cd unipdf-examples/templates/lab-results

How it works #

Here is a step by step explanation of the above code.

The import section in lines 10-21 import the necessary packages and libraries. The init function loads your license key and authenticates your request. The main function in lines 34-104 creates the document using the creator object and writes it to file. In this function in lines 39-48 the main template and the jason data are read using the readTemplate and readResultData functions. The TemplateOptions object created in lines 51-61 add infoColor function which is used to color the information text. In line 63-65 the template is drawn using c.DrawTemplate. In lines 93-98 the header and the footer section is drawn. Finally the document is written to file using the following code.

if err := c.WriteToFile("unipdf-lab-results.pdf"); err != nil {
		log.Fatal(err)
	}

The function readTemplate in lines 108-121 is used to read the template. The function readResultData defined in lines 124-137 reads the data given in a jason file and decodes it to LabResults objects.

In lines 140-205 the Patient, Specimen, Physician, TestResult objects and other necessary variables are defined.
