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

• Take key-value pairs from the CLI and replace them inside the template:
  echo "{{ .foo }}" | korvike -v foo=bar => "bar"
• Read environment variables and replace them inside the template:
  export FOO=bar; echo '{{env "FOO"}}' | korvike => "bar"
• Read a file and place it inside the template:
  echo "Hello World" > hello; echo '{{file "hello"}}' | korvike => "Hello World"
• Format the current date into the template (uses Go time format):
  echo '{{now "2006-01-02 15:04:05"}}' | korvike => "2017-04-17 16:27:34"
