# Patcher
The patcher allows you to modify existing documents, and add new content to them.
!> The Patcher requires an understanding of [Paragraphs](usage/paragraph.md).
---
## Usage
```ts
import * as fs from "fs";
import { patchDocument } from "docx";
patchDocument(fs.readFileSync("My Document.docx"), {
patches: {
// Patches here
},
});
```
## Patches
The patcher takes in a `patches` object, which is a map of `string` to `Patch`:
```ts
interface Patch {
type: PatchType;
children: FileChild[] | ParagraphChild[];
}
```
| Property | Type | Notes | Possible Values |
| -------- | --------------------------------- | -------- | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ |
| type | `PatchType` | Required | `DOCUMENT`, `PARAGRAPH` |
| children | `FileChild[] or ParagraphChild[]` | Required | The contents to replace with. A `FileChild` is a `Paragraph` or `Table`, whereas a `ParagraphChild` is typical `Paragraph` children. |
### How to patch existing document
1. Open your existing word document in your favorite Word Processor
2. Write tags in the document where you want to patch in a mustache style notation. For example, `{{my_patch}}` and `{{my_second_patch}}`.
3. Run the patcher with the patches as a key value pair.
## Example
### Word Document

### Patcher
?> Notice how there is no handlebar notation in the key.
The patch can be as simple as a string, or as complex as a table. Images, hyperlinks, and other complex elements within the `docx` library are also supported.
```ts
patchDocument(fs.readFileSync("My Document.docx"), {
patches: {
my_patch: {
type: PatchType.PARAGRAPH,
children: [new TextRun("Sir. "), new TextRun("John Doe"), new TextRun("(The Conqueror)")],
},
my_second_patch: {
type: PatchType.DOCUMENT,
children: [
new Paragraph("Lorem ipsum paragraph"),
new Paragraph("Another paragraph"),
new Paragraph({
children: [
new TextRun("This is a "),
new ExternalHyperlink({
children: [
new TextRun({
text: "Google Link",
}),
],
link: "https://www.google.co.uk",
}),
new ImageRun({ data: fs.readFileSync("./demo/images/dog.png"), transformation: { width: 100, height: 100 } }),
],
}),
],
},
},
});
```
