gtmpl-rust   ![Build Status] ![Latest Version]

The Golang Templating Language for Rust

toml [dependencies] gtmpl = "0.1.2"

• gtmpl at crates.io
• gtmpl documentation
• golang documentation

Current Limitations

This is work in progress. Currently the following features are not supported:

• complex numbers
• comparing different number types
  • eq 1 1.0 will be false
• the following functions have not been implemented:
  • html, js, call and printf

For now we use serdejson's Value as internal data type. However, this can not support passing functions to the context. In a future release we will move to a custom data type that will be compatible with serdejson.

Usage

Basic template rendering can be achieved in a single line.

```rust extern crate gtmpl; use gtmpl;

fn basictemplaterendering() { let output = gtmpl::template("Finally! Some {{ . }} for Rust", "gtmpl"); assert_eq!(&output.unwrap(), "Finally! Some gtmpl for Rust"); } ```

For more examples please take a look at the gtmpl documentation.

Why do we need this?

The main motivation for this is to make it easier to write dev-ops tools in Rust which feel native. Docker and Helm (Kubernetes) use golang templating and feels more native if tooling around them uses the same.
