Variables

Variables are resolved during PDF generation.

Template Syntax

Variables use {{variable_code}} with optional formatting:

{{my_variable}} // Raw value {{my_variable|uppercase}} // UPPERCASE {{my_variable|date:Y-m-d}} // Custom date format {{my_variable|currency}} // Currency format {{my_variable|truncate:50}} // Max 50 chars

Variable Types

Type	Description
`string`	Plain text
`number`	Numeric value
`currency`	Money amount (formatted)
`date`	Date/time (formatted)

Adding Custom Variables (Developer)

Third-party modules can add custom variables to the designer UI by registering a variable provider.

1) Create a Variable Provider

 'resolved value', default => '' }; } }

2) Register the Provider (DI)

Vendor\Module\Model\Variable\Provider\CustomProvider

Context Data

The $context array contains:

quote (B2B quote model)
store (store model)
page_number (current page number)
page_count (total pages)
