Using Fluid template engine in BluePrism

[MartinMayrhofer]

Hello,

we want to use a template engine so we can handle template for e-mails, reports, etc easier.

After some tries of different engines we think that we could use the Fluid template engine (https://github.com/sebastienros/fluid).

Does anyone know how to get this engine running inside BluePrism? The solution is that we can use the engine as a VBO. But it's not very easy to find the right DLLs we have to copy into the "Blue Prism Automate" folder.

Hi Martin

Not sure what you are trying to achieve with Fluid templates, but I just went to the link you provided. You can actually download the nuget package from the link on the repo and open it as zip and extract the dll required from lib folder. I think you might also have to add additional references to system libraries if required.

Thanks,

Hello Gopal,

by using a template engine we want to separate presentation from business logic. So we don't need to use complicated string concatenations for building HTML based reports.

We have found a solution that works. By building a self-contained assembly that includes all necessary DLLs we only had to copy one file into the BluePrism programm folder. Now we can use the Fluid template engine inside an VBO.
