dc

Quickly render mustache templates

Usage

Call dc with a template -t and some data -d. Both the template and the data arguments can be one of the following forms:

• File -t example.html.mustache -d data.json
• URL: -t 'http://example.com/example.html.mustache' -d 'http://jsonip.com'
• String: -t '<p>{{foo}}</p>' -d '{"foo": "bar"}'

Examples

$ ./dc -t '<div>{{#dicks}}<p>{{.}}</p>{{/dicks}}</div>' -d 'http://dicks-api.herokuapp.com/dicks/5'

$ ./dc -t template.html.mustache -d products.json

A useful feature of dc is the built in web server. Using the -s option dc will start a web server listening on http://localhost:8080 and opens up a browser window with your rendered creative. From here on out you can freely refresh the page and the template will be re-rendered.

$ ./dc -s -t template.html.mustache -d products.json

Access with recommender data.

$ cat template.html.mustache
<ul>
    {{#products}}
    <li>
        <a href="{{deeplink}}">{{from_airport}}-{{to_airport}}</a>
    </li>
    {{/products}}
</ul>

$ cat products.json
{
  "products": [
    {
      "from_airport": "TRN"
      "to_airport": "PMO",
      "deeplink": "/Search.aspx?culture=it-IT&from=TRN&to=PMO&departuredate=2014-08-20&returndate=2014-08-22",
    }
  ]
}

$ dc -t template.html.mustache -d products.json
<ul>
    <li>
        <a href="/Search.aspx?culture=it-IT&amp;bookingtype=flight&amp;from=TRN&amp;to=PMO&amp;triptype=roundtrip&amp;departuredate=2014-08-20&amp;returndate=2014-08-22&amp;adults=1&amp;children=0&amp;infants=0&amp;showNewSearch=false&amp;utm_campaign=retargeting">TRN-PMO</a>
    </li>
</ul>
