Pogodoc Quickstart

Generate documents in seconds using Pogodoc with Go.

Prerequisites

Before getting started with Pogodoc, make sure you have:

• Go (version 1.18 or higher)
• A Pogodoc account - Sign up here if you don't have one
• A Pogodoc API token - Generate one from your API tokens page

1. Installing the package

Before using the Pogodoc SDK, you can install the required package:

Go

go get github.com/Pogodoc/pogodoc-go

2. Create a client

Before creating a pogodoc client you need to generate POGODOC API token.

import (
    "os"
    "github.com/Pogodoc/pogodoc-go"
)

client, err := PogodocClientInit()
if err != nil {
    log.Fatal("Error initializing PogodocClient")
}

⚠️ Don't forget to set your POGODOC_API_TOKEN in your .env file.

3. Generate a document

ctx := context.Background()

var sampleData map[string]interface{}
jsonData := `{
    "name": "John Doe"
}`

err := json.Unmarshal([]byte(jsonData), &sampleData)
if err != nil {
    log.Fatal("Error unmarshaling data")
}

documentProps := GenerateDocumentProps{
    InitializeRenderJobRequest: InitializeRenderJobRequest{
        Template:   String("<h1>Hello <%= name %></h1>"),
        Type:       InitializeRenderJobRequestType("ejs"),
        Target:     InitializeRenderJobRequestTarget("pdf"),
        Data:       sampleData,
    },
}

doc, err := client.GenerateDocument(documentProps, ctx)
if err != nil {
    log.Fatal("Error generating document")
}

fmt.Println(doc.Output.Data.Url)
