Writing an invoice renderer plugin
==================================
An invoice renderer controls how invoice files are built.
The creation of such a plugin is very similar to creating an export output.
Please read :ref:`Creating a plugin <pluginsetup>` first, if you haven't already.
Output registration
-------------------
The invoice renderer API does not make a lot of usage from signals, however, it
does use a signal to get a list of all available invoice renderers. Your plugin
should listen for this signal and return the subclass of ``pretix.base.invoice.BaseInvoiceRenderer``
that we'll provide in this plugin:
.. code-block:: python
from django.dispatch import receiver
from pretix.base.signals import register_invoice_renderers
@receiver(register_invoice_renderers, dispatch_uid="output_custom")
def register_invoice_renderers(sender, **kwargs):
from .invoice import MyInvoiceRenderer
return MyInvoiceRenderer
The renderer class
------------------
.. class:: pretix.base.invoice.BaseInvoiceRenderer
The central object of each invoice renderer is the subclass of ``BaseInvoiceRenderer``.
.. py:attribute:: BaseInvoiceRenderer.event
The default constructor sets this property to the event we are currently
working for.
.. autoattribute:: identifier
This is an abstract attribute, you **must** override this!
.. autoattribute:: verbose_name
This is an abstract attribute, you **must** override this!
.. automethod:: generate
Helper class for reportlab-base renderers
-----------------------------------------
All PDF rendering that ships with pretix is based on reportlab. We recommend to read the
`reportlab User Guide`_ to understand all the concepts used here.
If you want to implement a renderer that also uses report lab, this helper class might be
convenient to you:
.. class:: pretix.base.invoice.BaseReportlabInvoiceRenderer
.. py:attribute:: BaseReportlabInvoiceRenderer.pagesize
.. py:attribute:: BaseReportlabInvoiceRenderer.left_margin
.. py:attribute:: BaseReportlabInvoiceRenderer.right_margin
.. py:attribute:: BaseReportlabInvoiceRenderer.top_margin
.. py:attribute:: BaseReportlabInvoiceRenderer.bottom_margin
.. py:attribute:: BaseReportlabInvoiceRenderer.doc_template_class
.. py:attribute:: BaseReportlabInvoiceRenderer.invoice
.. automethod:: _init
.. automethod:: _get_stylesheet
.. automethod:: _register_fonts
.. automethod:: _register_event_fonts
.. automethod:: _on_first_page
.. automethod:: _on_other_page
.. automethod:: _get_first_page_frames
.. automethod:: _get_other_page_frames
.. automethod:: _build_doc
