jinja2-cli

This is containerized jinja2-cli built on top of Alpine Linux.

To Use

A convenience wrapper, jinja2-cli is provided to simplify use.

./jinja2-cli template.j2 data.json > output_file

By default, the current directory is bind-mounted to the container so files (and subdirectories) located in the current directory are available to the container. So, for example, this will work:

./jinja2-cli templates/foo.j2.txt data.json > foo.txt

However, this will not:

./jinja2-cli ../templates/foo.j2.txt data.json > foo.txt

Specifying a Directory

In situations like those, the environment variable directory will need to used to indicate a directory that contains all of the files and directories:

directory=../ bin/jinja2-cli templates/foo.j2.txt data/data.json > foo.txt

Specifying a Username

By default, the container runs with the UID of the current user. This ought not be major concern as jinja2-cli does not write to the filesystem by default; it may, however, be an issue if a template or data file isn't readable by the current user.

Command Line Arguments

Arguments passed to jinja2-cli will be passed to the container; these may include files in the container, CLI options, etc..

./jinja2-cli template.j2.txt data.json --format=json

Additional information may be found on the jinja2-cli's README.md: Jinja2-cli Usage
