Found this useful? Install from Packagist (composer require nowo-tech/word-template-bundle) and consider starring WordTemplateBundle on GitHub.

Symfony bundle that fills Microsoft Word .docx templates (PHPWord TemplateProcessor) using a PHP context array:

• Scalars (strings, numbers, booleans, null) → setValue on placeholders such as ${client_name} or ${client.city} when you nest arrays (flattened to dot keys).
• TableRows → cloneRow + per-cell #1, #2, … replacements for repeating table lines.
• HtmlContent → rich fragments (paragraphs, bold/italic, tables inside HTML, etc.) via PHPWord Html::addHtml embedded as a complex block (lists <ul>/<ol> may require extra numbering setup in PHPWord; prefer plain paragraphs or combine with HtmlToWordBundle for full HTML pipelines).
• ImageSource → setImageValue with optional width/height.

This bundle does not execute Word VBA macros; “macros” here means template placeholders in the .docx compatible with PHPWord.

Quick start

composer require nowo-tech/word-template-bundle

Register Nowo\WordTemplateBundle\WordTemplateBundle if needed, then wire your templates and inject WordTemplateProcessorInterface:

use Nowo\WordTemplateBundle\Processor\WordTemplateProcessorInterface;

$doc = $this->wordTemplateProcessor->process(
    '/path/to/template.docx',
    [
        'title' => 'Contract #42',
        'client' => ['name' => 'ACME', 'city' => 'Madrid'],
    ],
);
$bytes = $doc->readContents();
$doc->dispose(); // if the processor used a temp file
