Go Modeler CLI and Library

The objective of this project is to help those people who need a small software to carry out their template compilations easily and quickly. The version is available to be used as a small CLI or a library in golang. We use Golang's templating system to perform the main demands of the application.

In this project we also have a set of our own functions and the phenomenal arrangement of the Sprig project to help you with the maximum resources available by the communities.

How to use?

See full documentation at gomodeler.md

1. Create a structure. Example:

   root/
       /templates/
           file1.json.gotmpl
           file2.yaml.gotmpl
           file3.md.gotmpl
           file4.html.gotmpl
       /envFile.yaml
   

   *An important point is the file format, it is not mandatory, it avoids the need to inform each name for the output.

   • Template file name format: {filename}.{extension to output}.{extension to template}
   • The following file will be generated automatically by the output: {filename}.{extension to output}

2. Create templates using the following available resources:

   1. Go template
   2. GoModeler Funcs
   3. Sprig

3. Create a variables file in Yaml or Json format. It is also possible to pass the variables directly to the CLI in the key=value format.

   • Example: envFile.yaml

4. Run the command with the following options:

gomodeler -f root/envFile.yaml --template-path root/templates --output-path root/outputs

5. Just check the root/outputs folder where all files will be generated.
