About:
jinja2-cli is a command-line interface for the Jinja2 templating engine. It allows users to render templates directly from the terminal using context data from JSON, YAML, or environment variables. This tool is invaluable for generating configuration files, dynamic scripts, and automated reports without writing Python code.
Key Features:
  • Supports multiple data formats (JSON, YAML, environment variables)
  • Direct command-line rendering of Jinja2 templates
  • Includes support for Jinja2 extensions and custom filters
  • Lightweight and easy to integrate into shell scripts
Use Cases:
  • Generating configuration files (e.g., Nginx, Docker) from templates
  • Injecting secrets or environment variables into scripts at runtime
  • Automating the creation of documentation or reports
Alternatives:
  • envsubst – Part of gettext; simpler but only handles environment variables and lacks Jinja2 logic (loops/conditionals).
  • gomplate – A Go-based template renderer; supports more data sources natively but is a larger binary.
