I've been working on refactoring some code in my Node server to remove docxtemplater. The req.body json object is functioning properly and I can even print it inside the doc.setData() method. However, when I try to launch the server, I encounter this error:
firstName: data.firstName,
^
TypeError: Cannot read property 'firstName' of undefined
Below is the content of my docxtemplater.js file.
const express = require('express');
const Docxtemplater = require('docxtemplater');
const JSZip = require('jszip');
const fs = require('fs');
const path = require('path');
const bodyParser = require('body-parser');
function estateDoc (data) {
let content = fs.readFileSync(path.resolve(__dirname, 'docxGen.docx'), 'binary');
let zip = new JSZip(content);
let doc = new Docxtemplater();
doc.loadZip(zip);
doc.setData({
firstName: data.firstName,
lastName: data.lastName,
middleName: data.middleName,
suffix: data.suffix,
socialSecurity: data.socialSecurity,
address: data.address,
telephone: data.telephone,
heir: data.heir
});
try {
doc.render()
}
catch (error) {
var e = {
message: error.message,
name: error.name,
stack: error.stack,
properties: error.properties,
}
console.log(JSON.stringify({error: e}));
throw error;
}
var buf = doc.getZip()
.generate({type: 'nodebuffer'});
fs.writeFileSync(path.resolve(__dirname + '/doc-sender-catcher', 'output.docx'), buf)
};
estateDoc();
module.exports = {estateDoc};
