Document Templates¶
Socotra’s document rendering engine uses templates written in a language called Liquid, created by Shopify. For more information see the Liquid Language Reference.
Socotra supports a set of custom functions in Liquid, documented here: Socotra Liquid Filters
Templates have names of the form *.template.liquid, and are a combination of HTML and liquid markup that accesses and processes policy data.
Data available in templates¶
All policy information is available in a structure called data.policy. For example, gross premium for the first segment of a policy can be referenced in a document template as data.policy.characteristics[0].gross_premium.
The object hierarchy for data available to the document template is:
{ "data": { "policy": { "characteristics": [{ "tax_groups": [{}] }], "exposures": [{ "characteristics": [{}], "perils": [{ "characteristics": [{}] }] }], "modifications": [{ "exposure_modifications": [{ "peril_modifications": [{}] }] }], "invoices": [{ "statuses": [{}], "payments": [{}] }], "fees": [{}] }, "policyholder": { "entity": {} } } }
Details of the data object¶
ValuesMaps
Many objects below refer to a “ValuesMap”, which is an implementation of a multimap data structure. A ValuesMap contains key-value pairs where the value can be a single value or an array, depending on whether that field was configured to be repeatable. The ValuesMap for field values is structured like this:
{ "field1": "value1", "field2": ["value2", "value3"] }
Note
This map is different from the data structures in the API, where all map data structures are key/array pairs.
Field Groups
In the field_values objects below, the value for fields of the group type is an array of locators. The groups of fields themselves are in an object called field_groups_by_locator. That object contains all field groups, not just those for the field in question. Use this example implementation as a starting point. This outputs the accessory_type field from each “accessory” field group:
{% assign exposure_values = data.exposure_characteristics.field_values %} {% assign exposure_groups = data.exposure_characteristics.field_groups_by_locator %} {% for accessory_loc in exposure_values.accessory %} {% assign accessory = exposure_groups[accessory_loc] %} {{accessory.accessory_type}} {% endfor %}
