What are templates?

Templates in Documind are predefined schemas designed to simplify data extraction for common document types such as invoices, bank statements and more. Instead of creating a custom schema for each document, you can leverage templates to get started quickly. Each template is a JSON schema tailored to a specific document type. When using a template, Documind automatically applies the associated schema to extract structured data from your document. Why Use Templates?
  1. Quick Start: Save time by using ready-made schemas instead of designing one from scratch.
  2. Consistency: Ensure uniform data extraction across similar document types.
  3. Community Contribution: Access a growing library of templates contributed by other users.

​
Available Templates

Currently, there are three templates available but we’ll be adding more in the future.
  • Invoice: Extracts details like invoice numbers, billing information, item details, and total amounts.
  • Bank Statement: Extracts transaction details, account numbers, and balances.
  • Drivers License (UK): Extracts details like drivers name, address, license number, issuing authority, and expiration date.

How to Use Templates

To use a template, simply pass the template name in the extract function: 
import { extract } from 'documind';

const result = await extract({
  file: 'https://example.com/document.pdf',
  template: 'invoice', // Specify the template name
});

console.log(result);
