Render Template

This command takes input template, and renders it using context data provided through the --set flags.

You can use this command to render any template (input template can be any text file)

Under the hood, this command uses the Go text/template engine to render the input template.

Usage

The render template command takes the following parameters:

-t, --template string      path to main template"
-i, --include string       path to helper templates (globs allowed)
-o, --output string        output directory or file
-d, --dry-run boolean      prints rendered template to stdout"
    --set string           sets a key=value (bool,float,string), e.g. "use_ssl=true"
    --set-string string    sets key=value (string), e.g. "base_path=/v1/hello"
    --values string        sets keys/values from YAML file, e.g. "./values.yaml"
    --set-file string      sets key=value where value is the content of a file, e.g. "my_data=./from/file.txt"
    --set-oas string       sets key=value where value is an OpenAPI Description, e.g. "my_spec=./petstore.yaml"
    --set-grpc string      sets key=value where value is a gRPC proto, e.g. "my_proto=./greeter.proto"
    --set-graphql string   sets key=value where value is a GraphQL schema, e.g. "my_schema=./resorts.graphql"
    --set-json string      sets key=value where value is JSON, e.g. 'servers=["server1","server2"]'

Rendering Context

During the rendering process, the there is a global context variable called $.Values. This variable contains all the information passed using the --set flags.

You can use the --set flags to inject values into the rendering process, or even control the flow of the rendering process dynamically.
