YAML/JSON Template Engine

This turns YAML/JSON files into templates that allows the user to pipe in params.

Example YAML template:

foo: {{ foo }}

Example params file:

{
	"foo" : "bar"
}

Output:

foo: bar

Universal Usage:

docker run -v ${workingdir}:/config \
	-e "TEMPLATEENGINE_TEMPLATEFILE=example/template.yaml" \
	-e "TEMPLATEENGINE_OUTPUTFILE=example/output.yaml" \
	-e "TEMPLATEENGINE_PARAMS=example/params.json" \
	-i philipw/yamltemplates

Bash Function: Put this bash function in your bash profile and you will be able to generate a templated yaml from anywhere on the CLI

function generateYaml() {
	TEMPLATEENGINE_TEMPLATEFILE=$0
	TEMPLATEENGINE_OUTPUTFILE=$1
	TEMPLATEENGINE_PARAMS=$2
	TEMPLATEENGINE_MIXIN=$3
	workingdir=$(pwd)

	docker run -v ${workingdir}:/config \
		-e "TEMPLATEENGINE_TEMPLATEFILE=${TEMPLATEENGINE_TEMPLATEFILE}" \
		-e "TEMPLATEENGINE_OUTPUTFILE=${TEMPLATEENGINE_OUTPUTFILE}" \
		-e "TEMPLATEENGINE_PARAMS=${TEMPLATEENGINE_PARAMS}" \
		-e "TEMPLATEENGINE_MIXIN=${TEMPLATEENGINE_MIXIN}" \
		-i philipw/yamltemplates
}

See examples folder for a more complete example.
