Render Commands

The apigee-go-gen tool includes the following set of template rendering commands to help you create Apigee API proxy bundles and shared flows.

• render template - Renders a Go-style template
• render apiproxy - Combines render template and yaml-to-apiproxy into one
• render sharedflow - Combines render template and yaml-to-sharedflow into one

Why use templates

Templates act like blueprints for creating Apigee API proxies, making it easy to generate them from popular formats like OpenAPI, GraphQL, and gRPC.

• Tailored Control

  Craft your API Proxies exactly how you need them, from security policies to dynamic behavior based on environment variables, and more!

• Unlock Your Specs

  Don't just describe your API – use the information in your OpenAPI specs (and others) to automatically build out parts of your API proxy configuration.

Template Language

The render commands are powered by the Go text/template engine.

Some popular tools that also use this same engine are Helm, and Hugo.
