html_report =
  Rapport.new
  |> Rapport.add_page(page_template, %{hello: "Hello world!"})

Phoenix integration

It's easy to Integrate Rapport with Phoenix. Just load the template as a module attribute, create the HTML for the report and send a response with the generated HTML:

defmodule ReportsWeb.ReportController do
  use ReportsWeb, :controller

  @page_template File.read!(Path.join(__DIR__, "../templates/report/hello.html.eex"))

  def hello(conn, _params) do
    html_report =
       Rapport.new
       |> Rapport.add_page(@page_template, %{hello: "Hello World!"})
       |> Rapport.generate_html

       conn
       |> put_resp_content_type("text/html")
       |> send_resp(200, html_report)
  end
end
