File Creator Extensions

The File Create extensions transforms allow to create Banana file, by importing a data formats (like audit files, bank statements or invoices files) . 

For example of File Creator Extensions, see the Menu Tools > Create file from external data.

Extension Package

The Create extension must be published as sbaa package and contains at least the following two files:

• manifest.json
  The description of the package
• createlocate.json
  This file specify to which file the conversion apply, and the resource used for converting and creating a file.
• createinit.js
  A javascript file that analyse the data and return a Json text, that specify what script is used to convert the data and what document Banana Accounting will create.

Example on Github.com

createlocate.json

The text file createlocate.json associates a specific file format  to an extension. When opening a text file, whose format is defined in createlocate.json, Banana Accounting will create a new accounting file and import the content of the text file.
In the following example, opening an XML file with namespace 'http:://ivaservizi.agenziaentrate.gov....', Banana Accounting will look for the extension to be executed defined in the createlocate.json file. 

{
	"country":"italy",
	"countryCode":"it",
	"description": "Importazione e-fatture ordinarie v1.2 (xml)",
	"docUri": "",
	"fileExtension": "xml",
	"mimeType": "text/xml",
	"script": {
		"function": "exec",
		"uri": "ch.banana.it.import.efattura.sbaa/createinit.js"
	},
	"xml": {
		"namespace": "http://ivaservizi.agenziaentrate.gov.it/docs/xsd/fatture/v1.2",
		"rootItem": "FatturaElettronica"
	},
	"type": "text/json",
	"version": "1.0"
}

createinit.js

This is a script file with the attribute @task create.init.
The script returns a json object which defines the type of accounting file to create and the extension to execute for importing data.
The argument of the exec function (inData) is the data to be imported.

// @id = createinit
// @api = 1.0
// @pubdate = 2021-07-28
// @publisher = Banana.ch SA
// @description = Create Init for importing Italy's XML Invoices
// @task = create.init
// @doctype = *

function exec(inData) {

var jsonData = {
	"fileType": {
		"accountingType" : {
			"docGroup" : "100",
			"docApp" : "110",
			"decimals" : "2"
			
		},
		"template" : "https://github.com/BananaAccounting/Italia/raw/master/templates/contabilita_doppia/cd_commerciale.ac2",
	},
	"scriptImport": {
		"function": "exec",
		"uri": "ch.banana.it.import.efattura.sbaa/ch.banana.it.import.efattura"
	},		
	"scriptSetup": {
		"function": "setup",
		"uri": "ch.banana.it.import.efattura.sbaa/ch.banana.it.import.efattura"
	},		
};
return jsonData;
}
