## What is it?

`jinja-tree` is a CLI utility to process [jinja (jinja2)](https://jinja.palletsprojects.com/) templates
recursively in a directory tree.

It is very configurable and very easy to extend with its included plugin system.

The default behavior is to recursively search for files with a given extension (`.template` for example) and to process the context with [Jinja (Jinja2)](https://jinja.palletsprojects.com/) templates engine reading the context variables from:

- a configuration file
- environment variables 
- dotenv files 

Then, the processed content is written into another file with the same name/path but with the configured extension (`.template` by default) removed. The original file can also be deleted (but this is not the default behavior).

<details>

<summary>Full example about overall operation (in default mode)</summary>

Note: this is only the **default behavior** as you can tune this with your own plugins!

Let's imagine the following directory structure:

```
/foo/
/foo/README.md.template
/foo/bar/baz.py.template
/foo/bar/another.file
```

And execute `jinja-tree /foo` with the default configuration.

We get:

```
/foo/
/foo/README.md.template
/foo/README.md <= NEW FILE FROM README.md.template jinja2 processing
/foo/bar/baz.py.template
/foo/bar/baz.py <= NEW FILE FROM baz.py.template jinja2 processing 
/foo/bar/another.file
```

</details>

## What's it for?

Your imagination is your limit 😅 but it's very useful for maintaining DRY documentation (for example `your-cli --help` output automatically updated in a markdown file), configuration files with default values read in code, including common blocks in different files...

**So it's a great tool for maintaining repositories in general.**

> [!TIP]
> Do you cant real-life examples? You can find some details about how we use it in this repository for:
> 
> - [getting `jinja-tree --help` output automatically added (and updated) in this README](https://github.com/fabien-marty/jinja-tree/blob/main/docs/details-about-real-life-example1.md)
> - [getting a reference TOML configuration file rendered with default values read from code](https://github.com/fabien-marty/jinja-tree/blob/main/docs/details-about-real-life-example2.md)

> [!NOTE]
> Another "action" plugin will be soon 🕒 provided to bootstrap directory trees from templates (like with the [cookiecutter](https://github.com/fabien-marty/jinja-tree/blob/main/https://github.com/cookiecutter/cookiecutter) project).

## Features

#### 1️⃣ Easy to extend 

`jinja-tree` includes a plugin system. You can override the default behavior with your own plugins.

There are two extension points:

- context plugins: to provide context variables to Jinja templates
- file plugins: to change the way how `jinja-tree` finds files to process (including target files)

See [this specification documentation page](https://github.com/fabien-marty/jinja-tree/blob/main/docs/details-about-plugins.md) for more details.

#### 2️⃣ Very configurable

`jinja-tree` is very configurable. You can configure global options via CLI options or a configuration file. 

Plugins are configurable via the configuration file.

See [this specification documentation page](https://github.com/fabien-marty/jinja-tree/blob/main/docs/details-about-configuration.md) for more details.

#### 3️⃣ Embedded extensions

`jinja-tree` includes some extensions to Jinja templates engine:

- [to execute some commands (and get the corresponding output)](https://github.com/fabien-marty/jinja-tree/blob/main/jinja_tree/app/embedded_extensions/shell.py)
- [to parse JSON strings into Python objects)](https://github.com/fabien-marty/jinja-tree/blob/main/jinja_tree/app/embedded_extensions/from_json.py)
- ..

<details>

<summary>Usage examples</summary>

#### `shell` extension


```jinja
{{ "date"|shell() }}
```

=> will render something like: `Sun Jan 28 15:11:44 CET 2024`


#### `from_json` extension


```bash
export MYENV='["foo", "bar", "baz"]'

(
    cat <<EOF
{% for item in MYENV|from_json() -%}
- {{ item }}
{% endfor %}
EOF
) | jinja-stdin
```


=> will render something like:

```
- foo
- bar
- bar
```

</details>

See [this directory](https://github.com/fabien-marty/jinja-tree/blob/main/jinja_tree/app/embedded_extensions/) for others

#### 4️⃣ Full Jinja / Jinja2 support (including "includes" and "inheritance")

`jinja-tree` has several options for Jinja "search paths". So you can use Jinja "includes" and "inheritance" features.

## Installation

`pip install jinja-tree`

> [!TIP]
> If you want to get a better readability of `jinja-tree` output (colors...), you can also use `pip install rich` to install 
> this **optional** dependency.

> [!NOTE]
> A docker image is also available. You can use it to avoid any specific installation.
> See at the end of the "Usage" section for more details.

## Usage

### Main CLI

```
jinja-tree .
```

> [!NOTE]
> The `.` in the previous command in the "root directory" (the directory `jinja-tree` will explore recursively to find files to process). You can replace it with any directory you want. By using `.`, you will process all files in the current directory and its subdirectories.

</details>

### Docker image

A docker image is also available. You can use it this way:

```bash
docker run --rm -t -v $(pwd):/code --user=$(id -u) ghcr.io/fabien-marty/jinja-tree:latest /code
```

*(we mount the current directory in the `/code` directory in the container and execute `jinja-tree` in this `/code` directory)*

> [!WARNING]
> If you plan to use environment variables with the docker image, you will have to use (possibly multiple times) the `-e VAR=VALUE` option to pass them to the container. 
> With docker, it's more practical to use a `.env` (dotenv) file as it will be automatically mounted in the container.

If you want to add some CLI options, you can add them like in this example:

```bash
docker run --rm -t -v $(pwd):/code --user=$(id -u) ghcr.io/fabien-marty/jinja-tree:latest --verbose /code
```

*(we added `--verbose` just before the `/code` argument)*

<details>

<summary>If you want to use the `jinja-stdin` CLI with docker?</summary>


```bash
echo "FOO {{ BAR }}" |docker run --rm -i -e BAR=BAZ --user=$(id -u) --entrypoint /app/entrypoint-stdin.sh ghcr.io/fabien-marty/jinja-tree:latest
```


*(it will output `FOO BAZ`)*
