tmpl

This is a small CLI to explore and render tmaplated files. You can either start the TUI with the tui subcommand or print to stdout the rendered file with the render subcommand.

The TUI allows you to pick a template file and render it, the original file and the rendered result are shown side by side.

The data.json file contains the data that is used to render the template, you can change the filename and path with the config flag.

You can change the template delimiters by specifying in data.json a left_delimiter and a right_delimiter string.

Example

A simple example configuration is in example_cycloid.yaml, you can change the data in data.json and see how the rendering changes.
