Luzifer / korvike

korvike is the finnish translation to the word "replacer" and that is what it does: It takes a Go template and executes it.

Available functions

Starting with v1.0.0 Korvike is based on the sprig functions collection with some additions:

• {{ .<variable name> }}
  Take key-value pairs from the CLI and replace them inside the template

  $ echo "{{ .foo }}" | korvike -v foo=bar
  bar
  

• {{ file <file name> [default value] }}
  Read a file and place it inside the template

  $ echo "Hello World" > hello
  $ echo '{{ file "hello" }}' | korvike
  Hello World
  

• {{ markdown <source> }}
  Format the source using a markdown parser

  $ echo '{{ markdown "# headline" }}' | korvike
  <h1>headline</h1>
  

• {{ tplexec (file "my.tpl") }}
  Execute the given template with the same function set and variables as the parent template.

  $ export FOO=bar
  $ echo '{{ env "FOO" }}' >my.tpl
  $ echo '{{ tplexec (file "my.tpl") }}' | korvike
  bar
  

• {{ urlescape <input string> }}
  Do an URL escape to use the input string inside an query parameter in an URL

  $ echo '{{ urlescape "Hellö Wörld@Golang" }}' | korvike
