YAML/JSON Template Engine
=========================

[](#yamljson-template-engine)

This turns YAML/JSON files into templates that allows the user to pipe in params.

**Example YAML template:**

```
foo: {{ foo }}

```

**Example params file:**

```
{
	"foo" : "bar"
}

```

**Output:**

```
foo: bar

```

**Universal Usage:**

```
docker run -v ${workingdir}:/config \
	-e "TEMPLATEENGINE_TEMPLATEFILE=example/template.yaml" \
	-e "TEMPLATEENGINE_OUTPUTFILE=example/output.yaml" \
	-e "TEMPLATEENGINE_PARAMS=example/params.json" \
	-i philipw/yamltemplates

```

**Bash Function:**Put this bash function in your bash profile and you will be able to generate a templated yaml from anywhere on the CLI

```
function generateYaml() {
	TEMPLATEENGINE_TEMPLATEFILE=$0
	TEMPLATEENGINE_OUTPUTFILE=$1
	TEMPLATEENGINE_PARAMS=$2
	TEMPLATEENGINE_MIXIN=$3
	workingdir=$(pwd)

	docker run -v ${workingdir}:/config \
		-e "TEMPLATEENGINE_TEMPLATEFILE=${TEMPLATEENGINE_TEMPLATEFILE}" \
		-e "TEMPLATEENGINE_OUTPUTFILE=${TEMPLATEENGINE_OUTPUTFILE}" \
		-e "TEMPLATEENGINE_PARAMS=${TEMPLATEENGINE_PARAMS}" \
		-e "TEMPLATEENGINE_MIXIN=${TEMPLATEENGINE_MIXIN}" \
		-i philipw/yamltemplates
}

```

See examples folder for a more complete example.

PHP Lib Usage
=============

[](#php-lib-usage)

```

use TemplateEngine\Template;

$config = new Config(__DIR__.'/example/params.json');

	__DIR__.'/example/example.yaml'
);
