Development

(This section is intended to jsreport extension developers audience.)

Entity definitions

Use splitIntoDirectories attribute in registerEntitySet to use the directory structure for storing. Otherwise the storage will put every entity row into the one single file.

this.documentStore.registerEntitySet("templates", {entityType: "jsreport.TemplateType", splitIntoDirectories: true});

Not every jsreport entity should be spitted into the tree structure. It is especially not desired for the entities where you expect thousands of entries. In this case just remove the splitIntoDirectories attribute.

The second required step is to extend the entity type with publicKey which is marking the attribute used for the row directory name. And also adding the document for the attributes you want to extract into dedicated files.

var templateAttributes = {
	...
    shortid: {type: "Edm.String"},
    name: {type: "Edm.String", publicKey: true},
    content: {type: "Edm.String",
	    document: { extension: "html", engine: true }
	}
    ...      
};

Engines

Engines like handlebars or jade are able to override the default file extension for the template content files. This can be done using file extension resolver....

reporter.documentStore.addFileExtensionResolver(function(doc, entitySetName, entityType, propertyType) {
        if (doc.engine === "handlebars" && propertyType.document.engine) {
            return "handlebars";
        };
    });
