Python interface for invoice generation

Simple utility for PDF invoice generation in Python

Setup

1. Install the module pip install pdf-invoice-util
2. Copy config/config.example.yaml from the repository to config/config.yaml and update parameter values as desired
3. Optionally configure terms by creating a translations/terms.[language].yaml file, check out the example file config/terms.example.yaml

Usage

1. Import the module from pdf_invoice_util import Invoice, InvoicePDF
2. Generate an invoice object eg. invoice = Invoice(invoice_id, invoice_date <YY-mm-dd>, customer_id, customer_name, customer_address, customer_postal_code, customer_city, customer_country, customer_vat_registered_number, vat_percentage)
3. Set article lines by using the set_articles() method on the invoice object, eg. invoice.set_articles([{'name': 'Pizza margherita', 'price': 9.99, 'amount': 1}, {'name': 'Pizza fungi', 'price': 11.99, 'amount': 1}])
4. Generate an InvoicePDF object eg. pdf = InvoicePDF(invoice <the invoice object>, invoice_language <the desired print language>)
5. Generate the PDF by running the generate_document() method on the InvoicePDF object
