Note: I am working with with Swift 4 for macOS.
I have an NSTableView which can be filled with data and saved into Core Data.
I would like to display the TableView values with a "design".
I have realized it like this:
- created a html template
- get the html code as a string and replaces the "html placeholders" with my tableview values
- show the modified html string via Web View
Works good ! And this "solution" will do automatically page breaks :)
Here a little bit of my code
// Example with statics values
func createHTML() {
let pathToHTMLTemplate = FileManager.default.urls(for: .documentDirectory, in: .userDomainMask)[0].appendingPathComponent("basic.html")
let pathToNoticeHTMLTemplate = FileManager.default.urls(for: .documentDirectory, in: .userDomainMask)[0].appendingPathComponent("notice.html")
do {
htmlString = try String(contentsOf: pathToInvoiceHTMLTemplate)
for _ in 0 ..< 40 {
var itemHTMLContent = try String(contentsOf: pathToNoticeHTMLTemplate)
itemHTMLContent = itemHTMLContent.replacingOccurrences(of: "#NOTICE_NAME#", with: "My notice")
htmlPositionen += itemHTMLContent
}
htmlString = htmlString.replacingOccurrences(of: "#NOTICE#", with: htmlPositionen)
let totalCount = 20 //Fix value as example
htmlString = htmlString.replacingOccurrences(of: "#TOTAL_COUNT#", with: "\(totalCount)")
myWebView.mainFrame.loadHTMLString(htmlString, baseURL: nil)
} catch {}
}
And I can print this:
func webView(_ sender: WebView!, didFinishLoadFor frame: WebFrame!) {
let fileURL = try! FileManager.default.url(for: .documentDirectory, in: .userDomainMask, appropriateFor: nil, create: false).appendingPathComponent("test.pdf")
let printInfo = NSPrintInfo.shared
printInfo.paperSize = NSMakeSize(595.22, 841.85)
printInfo.isHorizontallyCentered = true
printInfo.isVerticallyCentered = true
printInfo.orientation = .portrait
printInfo.topMargin = 50
printInfo.rightMargin = 0
printInfo.bottomMargin = 50
printInfo.leftMargin = 0
printInfo.verticalPagination = .autoPagination
let printOp = NSPrintOperation(view: sender.mainFrame.frameView.documentView, printInfo: printInfo)
printOp.showsProgressPanel = false
printOp.showsPrintPanel = false
printOp.run()
printOp.cleanUp()
}
But there is a problem: - I would like to have the red "Notice-header" after each page break again on the top
Have anybody an idea, how I can realize that?
UPDATE
Maybe this methods of web view could helps?
func webView(_ sender: WebView!, drawFooterIn rect: NSRect) {
// DO SOMETHING
}
func webView(_ sender: WebView!, drawHeaderIn rect: NSRect) {
// DO SOMETHING
}
