Hi,
We are moving forward with our data analytic product and OpenResty / Lua. Everyday
we are learning new things about this combination and it is cool.
One thing at the moment a bit complicated is we want to able to generate reports, HTML or PDF
preferable HTML and be able to deliver them at specific intervals of time via email ? The scheduling
probable will be implemented via ngx.timer.at() call.
Is there any library within OpenResty or outside which can help us:
- render or generate a HTML template which can be emailed as standalone report,
including tables, charts etc and simple to be seen on Mac, Linux, BSD etc ?
- is this the way to format on screen some data and prepare it as a report in HTML format ?
compress it or not before sending it via email ? would that be assured the receiver would be
able to properly see it ?
- HTML or PDF within OpenResty ? Which one would be simpler to handle within OpenResty ?
PDF will probable require extra libraries and some Lua bindings to these libs.
- What people are using for alternatives to PDF ? Still PDF aint an open standard format,
and I am thinking to seek alternatives.
Thanks,
