templated-rs

A simple templating engine that can be used anywhere.

Why yet another templating engine?

Many templates can be confusing, and sometimes they are only usable in some file formats. templated-rs is a templating engine you can use anywhere, and it has an easy to read syntax

Building templated-rs

1. Install rust (Easiest way is to install rustup)
2. Run cargo build --release in the root directory.
3. Now you can find templated-rs in target/release/templated-rs

Usage

Using templated-rs is simple, you pass any file as the first argument and you get the result in stdout.

Example:

$ cat example.txt
{# Here's a comment #}
{# The line below defines a variable #}
{ define foo Hello, world }
{# Let's use our variable: #}
The variable foo is { foo }!
$ templated-rs example.txt
The variable foo is Hello, world!
