jinjagen is a short simple extensible Python script using jinja2
to generate files from source template files. I use this to generate simple
static websites.
cd srcdir
jinjagen destdir
Filenames XYZ.jinja under srcdir generate files called XYZ under
destdir.
Any file or folder whose name starts with . or _ is ignored.
You want to pair jinja with other tools to deal with files and folders that
are not jinja templates.
See this example.
To hook in extra functionality from any Python module do:
cd srcdir
jinjagen -m a_python_module destdir
where a_python_module is the name of a Python module.
This package includes the module jinjagenadd which can be used for some basic functionality and as an example of how to create alternative modules. For details and usage see this example.
python3 -m pip install git+https://github.com/castedo/jinjagen.git
