Word (DOCX) Serialization

This module provides a Word encoder for the Drupal 8 Serialization API. This enables the DOCX format to be used for data output (and potentially input, eventually). For example:

• Views can output DOCX data via a 'Word Export' display in a View.
• Module developers can leverage DOCX as a format when using the Serialization API.

Installation

• Download and install PHPOffice/PHPWord. and all of it's dependencies:

  • zendframework/zend-escaper 2.4.*
  • zendframework/zend-stdlib 2.4.*
  • zendframework/zend-validator 2.4.*
  • zendframework/zend-stdlib 2.4.*
  • phpoffice/common 0.2.6
  • pclzip/pclzip": ^2.8

  The preferred installation method is to use Composer.

• The serialization module is required, so install that too.

• Enable the doc_serialization module.
