Dynamic Text Options do not apply

[sunnyar]

Thanks for this amazing package.

I have been using the "table2slides2" method call to add dynamic content for a table from your example-demo file but it seems the addText options parameter has no effect to the text content whatsoever.

i.e If I change the fontSize, color etc. it doesn't apply to the text.

Can you please fix it.

Hi @sunnyar

So you're using the addText() option in your addSlidesForTable() method call?

Please provide the code and the output.

Hi @gitbrent ,

Thanks for the reply.

My code snippet is as below:

var pptx = new PptxGenJS();
pptx.setLayout('LAYOUT_WIDE');
var objOpts = {x:1.10, y:0.8, h:"100%", master:"MASTER_SLIDE", w:10.3};
objOpts.addText = { text: "Table Title", options:{ x:1.1, y:"10%", color:'0088CC', fontFace:'Arial', fontSize:12 } };
pptx.addSlidesForTable('table-id', objOpts);
pptx.save("tables.pptx");

Attached is the table text which doesn't follow the options settings and is default. The same happens for the Demo Table (Add dynamic text) on the "examples/pptxgenjs-demo.html".

Any updates @gitbrent . Is the issue I am facing a bug or am I doing something wrong ?

[sunnyar]

Got it resolved.
The issue is that we need to use "opts" instead of "options" in the addText assignment call for the addSlidesForTables.

Old code
objOpts.addText = { text: "Table Title", options:{ x:1.1, y:"10%", color:'0088CC', fontFace:'Arial', fontSize:12 } };

New Code
objOpts.addText = { text: "Table Title", opts:{ x:1.1, y:"10%", color:'0088CC', fontFace:'Arial', fontSize:12 } };

As per Line 5307 in pptxgen.js

if ( opts.addText ) newSlide.addText( opts.addText.text, (opts.addText.opts || {}) );

Thank You

Thanks @sunnyar

The code and the documentation did not match, hence opts working instead of options

I've updated the code to now accept either one.
