DESCRIPTION

teepee allows you to generate data according to a template. Data is extracted from data structures available in JSON or YAML format, read from files or from standard input. This should make it easy to extract the needed data e.g. out of the output from some tool that provides you structured JSON or YAML text in output.

Options Overview

Input data structures can be provided via option -i . You can provide more than one input; in this case, they will be read in order and merged together. Merging in this case means that whatever is present in a file provided later in the command line supersedes whatevever was previously available. If you set the input filename as -, the input will be read from standard input.

You can provide input definitions from the command line too, via option "--define". In this case, you can provide the "path" into the data structure separating items with a dot .. Any key part that resembles an integer index starting from 0 will be interpreted as an array index, otherwise it will be considered a hash key. Definitions with this options always supersede those read from input files.

The input format can be either specified explicitly via option "--format" or deduced implicitly. The heuristic will first check the file name, then the contents. Suggestion is to specify it if you happen to know, expecially for programmatic usage.

The template to be expanded can be provided either from a file (via option "--template") or from the command-line directly (via option "--text"). Templates can be written according to what Template::Perlish provides. As quick, specialized alternatives to "--text", you can also use "--function" and "--variable".

All files are supposed to be UTF-8 encoded. When the template is provided from the command line, module I18N::Langinfo is used to auto-detect the terminal setting and try to do the right things. If in doubt, just use a UTF-8 encoded file for your template.

Output is sent to either standard output (by default or if you set the filename to -) or to the filename specified via option /--output. Output will be printed assuming that the receiving end is UTF-8 capable.

As of version 0.7.0, it is possible to also pre-load modules in the right package where the templates are expanded, with a simple syntax that leverages on options "-M"/"--module" (for importing modules) and "-l"/"--lib"/"--include" (for adding directories to the module search path).

Reading Inputs

It's worth noting that input data might come into three forms, independently of the input format: hash (i.e. object in JSON), array or scalar. Whatever the input, a big hash/object is built and eventually consumed by the templates; every time the top-level element in the input is not a hash, the following applies:

  • a (hopefully) unique key is generated joining "--auto-key-prefix", an increasing integer number starting from 0, and --auto-key-suffix. The value is associated to this key in the top level hash.
  • the last value read in this way is always associated to key "--default-key".

By default, the three options are set to the string _ (one single underscore).

For example, if you have two input files with two arrays inside:

# first input, JSON format
[ "one", "two", "three" ]

# second input, JSON format
[ 1, 2, 3 ]

the resulting overall hash read will be the following when the two inputs are read in the order above:

{
   _0_ => [ 'one', 'two', 'three' ],
   _1_ => [ 1, 2, 3 ],
   _   => [ 1, 2, 3 ],
}

You can change the different options to be able to mix the input arrays with hashes and preserve key uniqueness.

If you specify input option --auto-key, the above algorithm will always be applied, also for hash inputs. This allows you get input from multiple sources without the risk of having keys trump on each other (which might be or not what you want).

Writing Templates

Templates for extracting data are written according to what Template::Perlish provides. You should take a look at its documentation at https://metacpan.org/pod/Template::Perlish. Only a few tricks will be reported here, just to get your feet wet.

We will suppose to have the following data, represented as YAML:

---
key1: value1
key2: value2
array:
   - first
   - second
   - third
   -
      k1: v1
      k2: v2
hash:
   one: two
   three: four
   five:
      - a
      - b
      - 'see...'
   'complex key': whatever

Values that are neither hashes/objects nor arrays will be called scalars.

So, we have a hash at the top level, with four keys (key1, key2, array and hash), two of which are scalars, one is an array and one is a hash. The array contains four items, the last of which is a hash with two keys (k1 and k2). The hash contains three keys, the first two (one and three) associated to a scalar value, the last one being an array with three strings inside.

If you want to just access scalar variable pointed by key three inside hash, it is sufficient to provide the path to that value as a sequence of keys starting from the top level and separated by a dot, like this:

[% hash.three %]

If you want to access an array's element, the trick is similar but you will have to use the index (starting from 0) instead of the key. So, for example, the b in the second array would be accessed like this:

[% hash.five.1 %]

and the v1 like this:

[% array.3.k1 %]

Please note that, by default, the keys that you can concatenate can only contain alphanumeric values, plus the underscore. What if you want to access whatever then? You can insert non-alphanumeric characters using quotes, like this:

[% hash.'complex key' %]

As you can imagine, there are ways to also cope with keys that have quotes inside, so refer to Template::Perlish if you need to know more.

Besides just accessing scalar values, you might want to add some logic to your templates. You can do this by simply writing Perl code, because whatever is not recognised as a valid path of keys is considered Perl code and evaluated accordingly:

current time: [% print scalar localtime() %]

There is even a shortcut to just print the output of an expression, so the above example can be written like this:

current time: [%= scalar localtime() %]

(note that there is an equal sign just after the template opening).

When you are writing Perl code, you can access the data structure through the hash variable %variables, so the following are equivalent:

[% hash.'complex key' %]
[%= $variables{hash}{'complex key'} %]

but of course you can do fancier things with the second one, like this:

uppercase: [%= uc $variables{hash}{'complex key'} %]

Accessing variables like this can be boring if you have a deeply nested data structure, because it's a lot of typing and a lot of curly brackets. To save typing and time, you can use the shortcut function V, so the following are equivalent:

[%  hash.'complex key' %]
[%= $variables{hash}{'complex key'} %]
[%= V("hash.'complex key'") %]

As you are probably guessing, V uses the same algorithm as just putting a plain sequence of path elements, including its restrictions on non-alphanumeric characters. This is considered a feature, because it adds consistency.

Just like you can access any variable with V, you also have a few additional functions at your disposal for some common tasks. For example, sometimes you will want to iterate over an array and find just those elements that have some characteristics, e.g. restricting only to elements that are hashes containing the k1 key. The long version is this, of course:

[%
   for my $item (@{$variables{array}}) {
      next unless ref($item) eq 'HASH';
      next unless exists $item->{k1};
      print $item->{k1};
      last;
   }
%]

You can use the V shortcut, of course:

[%
   for my $item (@{V('array')}) {
      next unless ref($item) eq 'HASH';
      next unless exists $item->{k1};
      print $item->{k1};
      last;
   }
%]

although in this case you would probably use A instead:

[%
   for my $item (A 'array') {
      next unless ref($item) eq 'HASH';
      next unless exists $item->{k1};
      print $item->{k1};
      last;
   }
%]

This takes the element at path array from %variables, expands it as an array and... well, what you do with it is completely up to you, of course.

Pretty Printing

Sometimes, especially in an interactive session, you might just want to take a look at the data structure you have to traverse; this is where pretty-printing comes handy.

YAML is already quite readable by its own, so chances are that you might want to have some pretty-printing when your data is represented in campact JSON format.

There are two functions for pretty-printing: "YAML" and "JSON". As you might have guessed, they print out the input data structure respectively as YAML and JSON (so they can also be used to transform one into the other, of course). It suffices to use the /-F option to get their services:

# pretty-print JSON as JSON
$ teepee -FJSON <input.json

# just dump as YAML
$ teepee -FYAML <input.whatever

Note that if your input is not an hash, or you are using "--auto-key", your data structure will contain multiple references to the same objects, which by default is considered a circular data reference. teepee solves this problem by eliminating the "--default-key" from the input hash before doing the pretty-printing.

This will anyway give you something that is different from the real input data, because of the embedding into the top-level hash. If you just want the original data, you can do as follows (this will work only for the last read input data of course):

# pretty-print JSON as JSON
$ teepee -F'JSON(V("_"))' <input.json

# just dump as YAML
$ teepee -F'YAML(V("_"))' <input.whatever

This isolates the last read input with an auto-generated key (with V("_")) and pretty-prints that (passing to the relevant function, i.e. either JSON or YAML).

Feeling Better With grep?

If you're not very comfortable with Perl... you should. There are a lot of very good resources out there to learn it, the most outstanding and readily available example is probably Modern Perl (http://onyxneon.com/books/modern_perl/index.html, look for both the printed and online version).

Anyway, if you're in a hurry and you prefer to use grep/sed and all other classical Unix tools, you can turn on crumbr mode and play with its output.

To understand what crumbr does, let's start from an example, i.e. let's see what this does when applied to the example data structure described in "Writing Templates". The template is quite straightforward in this case:

$ teepee -T '[%= crumbr(); %]' -i data.yml

and the output is the following:

array/0 "first"
array/1 "second"
array/2 "third"
array/3/k1 "v1"
array/3/k2 "v2"
hash/complex%20key "whatever"
hash/five/0 "a"
hash/five/1 "b"
hash/five/2 "see..."
hash/one "two"
hash/three "four"
key1 "value1"
key2 "value2"

Every leaf node is represented on a single line of its own. Each line contains a URI-shaped path, a space, and a JSON-encoded representation of the value. Hash keys are sorted lexicographically, array keys are sorted numerically.

So, are we still looking at the values pointed by key k1 inside any hash under the top-level array? This is how you do it:

$ teepee -T '[%= crumbr(); %]' -i data.yml \
  | grep '^array/[0-9][0-9]*/k1 '

You get the idea. Typing (or even remembering) that template might be cumbersome, which is why there is a shorthand option "-F" that lets you just write this instead:

$ teepee -Fcrumbr -i data.yml | grep '^array/[0-9][0-9]*/k1'

See "--function"/"-F" for the available functions in addition to crumbr. We will use this short form from now on.

Why the JSON encoding in the output? Aren't those double quotes annoying? The answer is probably yes, but they are also needed. In fact, there are a few cases where you will not see them, namely:

  • empty arrays

    are represented as [], without quotes

  • empty hashes

    are represented as {}, without quotes

  • null/undefined values

    are represented as null, without quotes (as opposed to the string "null", that has the quotes).

Example:

$ cat sample.yaml
---
'plain-value': ciao
'null-value': ~
'empty-array': []
'empty-hash': {}

$ teepee -Fcrumbr <sample.yaml
empty-array []
empty-hash {}
null-value null
plain-value "ciao"

You have probably noticed that this does not allow you to clearly distinguish between hash/object keys and array indexes. Hopefully this does not concern you because you have a sane input data structure, but in case you want to remove any space for misunderstanding, you can use exact_crumbr instead:

$ teepee -Fexact_crumbr -i data.yml
{"array"}[0]:"first"
{"array"}[1]:"second"
{"array"}[2]:"third"
{"array"}[3]{"k1"}:"v1"
{"array"}[3]{"k2"}:"v2"
{"hash"}{"complex key"}:"whatever"
{"hash"}{"five"}[0]:"a"
{"hash"}{"five"}[1]:"b"
{"hash"}{"five"}[2]:"see..."
{"hash"}{"one"}:"two"
{"hash"}{"three"}:"four"
{"key1"}:"value1"
{"key2"}:"value2"

If you like, or need, to play with JSON subsets instead, you might find json_crumbr interesting:

$ teepee -Fjson_crumbr -i data.yml
{"array":["first"]}
{"array":["second"]}
{"array":["third"]}
{"array":[{"k1":"v1"}]}
{"array":[{"k2":"v2"}]}
{"hash":{"complex key":"whatever"}}
{"hash":{"five":["a"]}}
{"hash":{"five":["b"]}}
{"hash":{"five":["see..."]}}
{"hash":{"one":"two"}}
{"hash":{"three":"four"}}
{"key1":"value1"}
{"key2":"value2"}

In this case, each line is a valid JSON data structure with one single leaf value only.

OPTIONS

  • -A

  • --auto-key

  • --no-auto-key

      -A
      --auto-key
      --no-auto-key
    

    When set (first two options), every input is put into its own sub-value inside the top-level hash. See "--auto-key-prefix", --auto-key-suffix and "default-key" for options related to automatic keys generation.

    Defaults to a false value, i.e. hashes will be merged together in the top level hash, and only array/scalar values will get an automatically generated key.

  • -P

  • --auto-key-prefix

      -P ITEM-
      --auto-key-prefix ITEM-
    

    Prefix to be applied when auto-generating a key for inserting an input into the top-level hash. This applies to input top-level arrays/scalars, unless when --auto-key is set in which case it applies to all top-level inputs.

    Defaults to the single underscore character _.

  • -S

  • --auto-key-suffix

      -S _mine
      --auto-key-suffix _mine
    

    Suffix to be applied when auto-generating a key for inserting an input into the top-level hash. This applies to input top-level arrays/scalars, unless when --auto-key is set in which case it applies to all top-level inputs.

    Defaults to the single underscore character _.

  • -b

  • --binmode

      -b setting
      --binmode setting
    

    set the output encoding using the same rules as Perl's binmode function. Defaults to :encoding(UTF-8). When left empty, it is considered equivalent to :raw.

  • -K

  • --default-key

      -K mykey
      --default-key mykey
    

    Key associated to the last top-level input that needs key auto-generation (depends on "--auto-key").

    Defaults to the single underscore character _.

  • -d

  • --define

      -d key=value
      --define key=value
    

    add the definition of an element in the input data. The following algorithm applies:

    • input definition key=value is split at the first = sign found. This means that the key cannot contain = signs, while the value can;
    • the key part is divided into sub-keys splitting using the . dot character. This means that sub-keys cannot contain dots.
    • each sub-key is used to traverse the input data, with auto-vivification when necessary.
    • sub-keys that are non-negative integers (i.e. either 0 or any positive integer) are regarded as array indexes. Otherwise, the sub-key is regarded as a hash key.
    • the value part is assigned as the element pointed by the last sub-key.
  • -f

  • --format

      -f <yaml|yml|json|jsn>
      --format <yaml|yml|json|jsn>
    

    set the (default) format for input data files. It can be one of yml, yaml, json or jsn in whatever case. You can also set the format in a fine-grained way using either "--json" or "--yaml" options.

  • -F

  • --function

      -F spec
      --function spec
    

    set template to a function. This is equivalent to specifying:

      -T '[%= spec %]'
    

    except that it is more concise. You can of course put whatever in spec, so you are not constrained on using a single function.

    Currently available functions are:

    • base64

      encode the argument with RFC 2045 base64 algorithm, use it like this:

        base64('text') # "dGV4dA=="
      
    • indent

      indent the argument, 4 blanks by default. Use it like this:

        indent('whatever')  #  "    whatever"
        indent('xxx', 7)    #  "       xxx"
        indent('X', '  ')   #  "  X"
      
    • slurp

      read a whole file, optionally setting the encoding via binmode (defaults to :raw, i.e. no reading tricks applied). Use it like this:

        slurp('/path/to/filen.ame');
      
    • urlenc

      encode a string in a form suitable for inclusion in a URL. All characters that are not in a-z A-Z 0-9 - ~ _ . are transformed into their percent-encoded counterparts.

    • xmlenc

      encode a string in a form suitable for use as XML text. Characters < > & ' " are transformed (in numeric form).

    • xmltxt

      encode a string in a form suitable for use as XML text. Only characters < & are transformed (in numeric form).

    • crumbr_as(type)

      where type can be URI, Default or JSON;

    • crumbr

      alias to uri_crumbr

    • uri_crumbr

      use crumbr with the URI alternative

    • exact_crumbr

      use crumbr with the exact Default alternative

    • json_crumbr

      use crumbr with the JSON alternative

    • JSON

      dumps the input as pretty-printed JSON (so this is more readable)

    • YAML

      dumps the input as YAML (so this is more readable)

    The functions above work, by default, on the overall input data, unless indicated otherwise. You can pass an optional (additional) parameter with the data structure you want it to work upon, e.g. if you just want to pretty-print an item you can do this:

      $ teepee -i input.json -F'YAML(V("some.inner.hash"))'
    

    Note that you can use slurp, base64 and indent to read in any file, encode it and possibly put it as content inside a YAML file. E.g. you might do this to pass a generic file via cloud-init:

      #cloud-config
      write_files:
      - encoding: base64
        path: /etc/whatever
        owner: root:root
        permissions: '0644'
        content: |
      [%= indent(base64(slurp(V 'filename')), 5) %]
    
  • --help

    print a somewhat more verbose help, showing usage, this description of the options and some examples from the synopsis.

  • -I

  • --immediate

      -I '{"ciao":"a tutti"}'
      --immediate '{"hey":"joe"}'
    

    immediate input, whose content is directly in the command line parameter. Does auto-detection and complies with "--format" as "--input".

  • -i

  • --input

      -i filename
      --input filename
    

    an input file carrying data for expansion. This option can be set multiple times, which will trigger (shallow) merging of the data structures.

    If set as -, standard input will be read.

    Note: only allowed data structures are hashes at the top level.

  • -j

  • --jsn

  • --json

      -j input.json
      --jsn some.json
      --json other.json
    

    add an input file indicating that its format is JSON.

  • -J

  • --json-s

      -J '{"ciao":"a tutti"}'
      --json-s '{"hey":"joe"}'
    

    immediate input, whose content is directly in the command line parameter, read as JSON.

    Note that the case of the lowercase option is uppercase.

    This can come handy when you have read your data structure in a shell variable, and don't want to do tricks with redirections.

  • -l

  • --lib

  • --include

      -l lib
      --lib /path/to/local/lib
      --include /from/other/perl/lib
    

    add a path to the array @INC where modules are looked for. This actually applies only to items loaded via "-M"/"--module" below, because the inclusion of the directories happens at runtime.

  • --man

    print out the full documentation for the script.

  • -M

  • --module

      -M Digest::MD5=md5_hex
      --module 'Log::Log4perl::Tiny qw< :easy >'
    

    import a module and its functions. The first flavor has a specification where you can put Module::Name=func1,func2,..., otherwise you can specify a line that will evaled like use $your_line;.

  • -n

  • --newline

  • --no-newline

    the first two forms set teepee to always print a newline at the end. This should make it easier to use in the command line, especially for casually printing variables on the shell.

    The last form is the negation, i.e. newline printing is disabled. This can come handy when you set the environment variable "TEEPEE_NEWLINE" to a non-false value, but you want to disable the newline printing in one call.

  • -N

  • --no-input

      -N
      --no-input
    

    boolean option to signal that there is no input at all. This is handy if you just want to expand a template based on a few variables set directly on the command line, for example:

      # both "n" for newline and "N" for no-input, then multiple defines
      $ teepee -nN -d a=b -d c=d -T '[% a %] -> [% c %]'
      b -> d
    
  • -o

  • --output

      -o filename
      --output filename
    

    set the output channel where data will be sent. By default it is set to -, which means standard output.

    Data will be printed assuming the channel is UTF-8 capable.

  • -t

  • --template

      -t filename
      --template filename
    

    set the input template filename. The input file is assumed to be UTF-8 encoded.

    Templates are assumed to be valid Template::Perlish template files, see that module's documentation for additional help. The default opener and closer are assumed.

  • -T

  • --text

    set the template to expand directly on the command line.

  • --usage

    print a concise usage line and exit.

  • -v string

  • --variable string

      -v some.data.inside
      --variable some.data.inside
    

    expand a variable directly. This is equivalent to specifying:

      -T '[% some.data.inside %]'
    

    but more concise.

  • --version

    print the version of the script.

  • -y

  • --yml

  • --yaml

      -y input.yaml
      --yml some.yaml
      --yaml other.yaml
    

    add an input file indicating that its format is YAML.

  • --yaml-1

      --yaml-1 file-with-yaml-frontmatter.md
    

    add an input file which has an initial header that is formatted in YAML. This is useful for reading the front matter from a Markdown file, if present, like in the following example:

      ---
      title: My shiny post
      type: post
      date: 2022-05-06 07:00:00 +0200
      ---
    
      # Post title
    
      This is a post about...
    
  • -Y

  • --yaml-s

      -Y '"ciao": "a tutti"'
      --yaml-s '"hi": "there"'
    

    immediate input, whose content is provided directly in the command line parameter, read as YAML.

    Note that the case of the short option is uppercase.

    This can come handy when you have read your data structure in a shell variable, and don't want to do tricks with redirections.

  • --yaml-s1

      --yaml-s1 "$string_with_yaml_frontmatter"
    

    immediate input, whose content is provided directly in the command line parameter, which starts with valid YAML.

    This can be handy to parse the YAML front matter from a string that contains a whole Markdown document that contains one. See "--yaml-1" for an example.

DIAGNOSTICS

  • output open('%s'): %s

    errors while opening the output channel, second placeholder carries the error from the operating system.

  • undefined input format

    auto-detection of input format failed. You can use option "--format" to specify the input format.

  • cannot read input format %s

    the provided input format is not recognised, see "--format" for the allowed values.

  • undefined filename

    the filename provided for input reading is not defined. This applies both to data and template inputs.

  • input open('%s'): %s

    errors while opening an input file, second placeholder carries the error from the operating system.

  • cannot infer format for file '%s'

    heuristic to infer the format of the file failed. You can specify the format to be used using "--format"

CONFIGURATION AND ENVIRONMENT

teepee requires no configuration files.

The following environment variables are supported:

  • TEEPEE_NEWLINE

    when set to a true value, it has the same effect of option "--newline". Anyway, the command line always overrides the environment variable, so if option "--no-newline" is set, the newline printig will be disabled anyway.

BUGS AND LIMITATIONS

No bugs have been reported. Auto-detection of locale should probably extend to output encoding when printing to standard output, as opposed to assuming UTF-8 is fine.
