Liquid-CLI
A command-line wrapper over the liquid ruby library by Shopify.
Installation
$ gem install liquid-cli
Usage
Supply a template on stdin and an optional context as JSON.
$ echo 'Hi, my name is {{ name }}.' | liquid '{ "name": "Pat" }'
Hi, my name is Pat.
Use shell redirection to make handling larger templates and contexts easier:
$ cat context.json
{
"title": "A title",
"posts": [
{
"link": "/posts/foo",
"content": "Foo"
},
{
"link": "/posts/bar",
"content": "Bar"
}
]
}
$ liquid "$(< context.json)" <<EOF
<h1>{{ title }}</h1>
{% for post in posts %}
<a href="{{ post.link }}">{{ post.content }}</a>
{% endfor %}
EOF
