## Installation

The package can be installed
by adding `rapport` to your list of dependencies in `mix.exs`:

```elixir
def deps do
  [
    {:rapport, "~> 0.6"}
  ]
end
```

## Notable features
  * Specify paper size for the report
  * Specify rotation for the report
  * Image helpers
  * Font helpers
  * Page numbering
  * Add custom styling & even Javascript
  * Barcodes

## Hello world

```elixir
page_template = "<h1><%= @hello %></h1>"
html_report =
  Rapport.new
  |> Rapport.add_page(page_template, %{hello: "Hello world!"})
  |> Rapport.save_to_file("/home/users/ricn/hello.html")
```

The snippet above generates a report containing only one page with a heading that says "Hello world!".

## Phoenix integration

It's easy to Integrate Rapport with Phoenix. Just load the template as a module attribute, create the HTML for the report
and send a response with the generated HTML:

```elixir
defmodule ReportsWeb.ReportController do
  use ReportsWeb, :controller

  @page_template File.read!(Path.join(__DIR__, "../templates/report/hello.html.eex"))

  def hello(conn, _params) do
    html_report =
       Rapport.new
       |> Rapport.add_page(@page_template, %{hello: "Hello World!"})
       |> Rapport.generate_html

       conn
       |> put_resp_content_type("text/html")
       |> send_resp(200, html_report)
  end
end
```
