Jinja2 is a fast and straightforward templating engine. You can use this action to easily run it in your GitHub workflows.

Using input variables

- name: Setup nginx
  uses: cuchi/jinja2-action@v1.2.2
  with:
    template: infra/nginx.conf.j2
    output_file: infra/nginx.conf
    strict: true
    variables: |
      server_host=staging.example.com
      timeout=30s

Using data files

- name: Setup nginx
  uses: cuchi/jinja2-action@v1.2.2
  with:
    template: infra/nginx.conf.j2
    output_file: infra/nginx.conf
    data_file: staging_config.json
    data_format: json # Will try to guess from the extension instead (unnecessary in this case)

Using environment variables

- name: Setup nginx
  uses: cuchi/jinja2-action@v1.2.2
  with:
    template: infra/nginx.conf.j2
    output_file: infra/nginx.conf
  env:
    SERVER_HOST: staging.example.com

Environment variables are used this way in the template file:

{{ env['SERVER_HOST'] }} <-- This is always strict
{{ env.get('SERVER_HOST') }} <-- This is never strict, and displays `None` if you don't specify a default value
