gomplate is a template renderer which supports a growing list of datasources, such as: JSON (including EJSON - encrypted JSON), YAML, AWS EC2 metadata, BoltDB, Hashicorp Consul and Hashicorp Vault secrets.

Come chat with developers and community in the #gomplate channel on Gophers Slack and on GitHub Discussions!

Here are some hands-on examples of how gomplate works:

$ # at its most basic, gomplate can be used with environment variables...
$ echo 'Hello, {{ .Env.USER }}' | gomplate
Hello, hairyhenderson

$ # but that's kind of boring. gomplate has tons of functions to do useful stuff, too
$ gomplate -i 'the answer is: {{ mul 6 7 }}'
the answer is: 42

$ # and, since gomplate uses Go's templating syntax, you can do fun things like:
$ gomplate -i '{{ range seq 5 1 }}{{ . }} {{ if eq . 1 }}{{ "blastoff" | toUpper }}{{ end }}{{ end }}'
5 4 3 2 1 BLASTOFF

$ # the real fun comes when you use datasources!
$ cat ./config.yaml
foo:
  bar:
    baz: qux
$ gomplate -d config=./config.yaml -i 'the value we want is: {{ (datasource "config").foo.bar.baz }}'
the value we want is: qux

$ # datasources are defined by URLs, and gomplate is not limited to just file-based datasources:
$ gomplate -d ip=https://ipinfo.io -i 'country code: {{ (ds "ip").country }}'
country code: CA

$ # standard input can be used as a datasource too:
$ echo '{"cities":["London", "Johannesburg", "Windhoek"]}' | gomplate -d city=stdin:///in.json -i '{{ range (ds "city").cities }}{{.}}, {{end}}'
London, Johannesburg, Windhoek, 

$ # and here's something a little more complicated:
$ export CITIES='city: [London, Johannesburg, Windhoek]'
$ cat in.tmpl
{{ range $i, $city := (ds "cities").city -}}
{{ add 1 $i }}: {{ include "weather" (print $city "?0") }}
{{ end }}
$ gomplate -d 'cities=env:///CITIES?type=application/yaml' -d 'weather=https://wttr.in/?0' -H 'weather=User-Agent: curl' -f in.tmpl

  • nested template technique?

    nested template technique?

    Is there a way to do this? file data:

    ---
    a: 1
    

    template1 data:

    Welcome to {{.a}
    {{ if .a == 1}} 
    {{ template "foo" }}
    {{ end - }}
    

    It seems like --input-dir just renders everything unconditionally.
    It seems like -d foo=template://foo.t could be used treat conditional (nested) templates as datasources. Since go templates need names, it fits with the -d scheme.

    I ran into trouble with -d and the use of a .t suffix trying to sniff mime typing so maybe a different switch with nearly identical behavior as -d that can be used for defineing templates for use in {{template "foo"}}...

    Is there another way to do it?

    Thanks for doing gomplate!

  • Is it possible to generate multiple output files from one template?

    Is it possible to generate multiple output files from one template?

    I have a datasource (a Yaml file) with a bunch of services listed. For each service, I need to create a Dockerfile - all will be built with the same template - which some things varying by the service name.

    So I have one template - and want to create N files with that template based on the data.

    How can I do that with Gomplate? I feel like it should be possible but am struggling to think how.

  • Support for `required`

    Support for `required`

    what

    A required function that allows you to declare a particular values entry as required for template rendering. If the value is empty, the template rendering will fail with a user submitted error message.

    This function is available in helm.

    why

    • Sometimes we need to ensure user has defined specific environment variables or the rendered template is invalid.
    • Outputting helpful messages will make this easier

    example

    {{- required "A valid API_KEY entry required!" .Env.API_KEY -}}

  • add k8s configmap as source

    add k8s configmap as source

    Solves #116. Currently it lacks integration tests. I would like to know which kind of integration test you may prefer:

    1. Using minikube (https://github.com/kubernetes/minikube). Basically it will spin up a virtualmaching with an all-in-one node Kubernetes cluster (this is how I have developed this new data source)
    2. Graping a valid Kubernetes API answer to emulate it (as with awssvc)

    The good point about 1 is that it will also help with any other k8s datasource (Secrets for example), but it is more complex and heavy.

  • Update k8s.io/client-go to a valid version

    Update k8s.io/client-go to a valid version

    The current import of k8s.io/client-go v11.0.0+incompatible causes any project inheriting from this to loose their correct k8s.io/client-go import. Could you pick a version from K8s v1.17 upwards (v0.x.y) and use that library version (e.g. k8s.io/client-go v0.18.15 for K8s v1.18).

    If you have a dependency forcing you to k8s.io/client-go v11.0.0+incompatible please could you use the following pattern to fix projects consuming this project.

    // Pin kubernetes dependencies to 1.18.15
    replace (
    	k8s.io/api => k8s.io/api v0.18.15
    	k8s.io/apimachinery => k8s.io/apimachinery v0.18.15
    	k8s.io/client-go => k8s.io/client-go v0.18.15

  • YAML Files with KQL Code

    YAML Files with KQL Code

    Hi,

    Apologies for the bold text, it doesn't allow me to revert to normal text...

    Please let me know if the following is possible with gomplate.

    I have a main template called alert001.yaml with the following KQL Query:


    //MasterTemplate

    query: | AzureActivity | where TimeGenerated between (startofday(ago(starttime)) .. startofday(ago(endtime))) | where OperationName in~ (szOperationNames) | summarize StartTimeUtc = min(TimeGenerated), EndTimeUtc = max(TimeGenerated), ActivityTimeStamp = makelist(TimeGenerated), ActivityStatus = makelist(ActivityStatus),


    Based on the above template, I need to create customer yaml files, example alert001-customer001.yaml. On the customer YAML file I need to add few additional lines of code on the KQL and this line of code has to be on the specific line it cannot be and the end of the code, etc.

    //Customer YAML Files

    AzureActivity | where callerIPAddress != "192.168.1.1" | where TimeGenerated between (startofday(ago(starttime)) .. startofday(ago(endtime))) | where OperationName in~ (szOperationNames) | summarize StartTimeUtc = min(TimeGenerated), EndTimeUtc = max(TimeGenerated), ActivityTimeStamp = makelist(TimeGenerated), ActivityStatus = makelist(ActivityStatus)

    Whenever we update the main template we will like it to reflect on the alert001-customer001.yaml, alert001-customer002.yaml, alert001-customer003.yaml files. In other words to append these files..

    Any changes on the customer files will a trigger a CI/CD deployment to the Azure Sentinel environments...

    Is that possible via gomplate? To have a main YAML template that will cascade any changes to the customer YAML files?

  • Add `go-sockaddr` functions

    Add `go-sockaddr` functions

    This is an issues to discuss the acceptability and design for a large feature which I think would be useful in gomplate - the ability to execute go-sockaddr pipelines.

    The go-sockaddr library was written primarily by @sean- for use in HashiCorp runtime tools to allow for evaluation of network interfaces against heuristics to avoid hard-coding interface names, IP addresses and so forth during configuration. Consul and Nomad (and I believe soon Vault) all support the templates in configuration fields such as bind.

    Templates take the form of a Go function pipeline, and provide functionality such as finding an IP address that:

    • is attached to a default route (GetDefaultInterfaces())
    • is contained within a CIDR block (IfByNetwork())
    • is an RFC1918 address (IfByRFC("1918"))
    • is ordered (OrderedIfAddrBy(args) where args includes AscIfType, AscNetworkSize)
    • excludes all IPv6 addresses (IfByType("^(IPv4)$"))
    • is larger than a /32 (IfByMaskSize(32))
    • is not on a down interface (ExcludeIfs("flags", "down"))
    • preferences an IPv6 address over an IPv4 address (SortIfByType() + ReverseIfAddrs()); and
    • excludes any IP in RFC6890 address (IfByRFC("6890"))

    I believe this would be a fairly straightforward lift-and-shift to support all of the functions supported by go-sockaddr in gomplate, and it would make rendering templates with networking aspects more flexible. Two possible approaches seem to exist:

    1. Add the go-sockaddr-supplied functions to gomplate directly
    2. Add a function named something like sockaddr which takes a template to render as a parameter.

    I'm happy to take a look at doing this work, but want to confirm that the feature set is of interest prior to doing so.

  • Support Kubernetes ConfigMaps as datasources

    Support Kubernetes ConfigMaps as datasources

    It would be awesome if Kubernetes ConfigMaps could be used as datasources. This would be a perfect fit when gomplate is used as an init-container which can be used to prepare configuration files for an application (like a standalone.xml for Wildfly app server).

    Currently this can be done via ConfigMap backed volumes but a direct K8s support would be nicer, of course as it reduces the configuration overhead within Kubernetes.

  • Use one decoder for data.JSON, data.YAML. Deprecate data.JSONArray and data.YAMLArray

    Use one decoder for data.JSON, data.YAML. Deprecate data.JSONArray and data.YAMLArray

    At first, thank you for very useful product. I found it during searching for golang templating tool for DevOps needs after I started prototyping own tool with similar functionality, but now I decided to use gomplate and want to contribute.

    During exploring and using gomplate, I faced with separation on converting on JSON and YAML data. This separation was confused me, because from my point of view there's no need to have it. So I decided to contribute some chages to make user experience smoother.

    What actually changed in this PR:

    • data.JSON and data.YAML is uses one unmarshaler (i.e. it now actually aliases) because valid JSON is valid YAML;
    • both data.JSON and data.YAML supports convertion of any valid data types for this formats, including arrays;
    • data.JSONArray and data.YAMLArray is deprecated, because this functionality can be achieved by using data.JSON and data.YAML, so it also only aliases, to keep compatibility;
    • EJSON support is still here, but I added additinal stringifyMapKeys in output processing;

    IMHO this changes will simplify usage of gomplate, because there's no need to decide which of YAML* or JSON* method use.

  • Accept arguments for command in plugin definition

    Accept arguments for command in plugin definition

    Currently plugin definitions only accept an executable, so there is no way to pass some pre-defined arguments to precede the ones from the template invocation.

    As a (somewhat contrived) example, If i want a plugin to evaluate a python expression, I should be able to do:

    plugins:
      py: ["python3", "-c"]
    
    {{ py "print('Hello, world')" }}
    

    So that I don't need to have "-c" in every invocation.

  • Problem with path in checksums file

    Problem with path in checksums file

    Trying to install the latest binary release from Ansible while checking the checksum using Ansible's get_url method, I've encountered the problem that the binary path in the sha256 checksums file is prefixed with binary/ which is not the case in the URL, so Ansible can't find the file and verify the checksum.

    Is this expected behavior or a real problem ?

    Example Ansible task :

    - name: download and install gomplate
      get_url:

        owner: root
        group: root
        mode: 0755
