dot-cli

dot-cli is a command-line tool for rendering doT templates using JSON data. This tool allows you to easily combine data and templates to generate text files based on your templates.

Installation

You can install dot-cli globally via npm:

npm install -g dot-cli

Usage

Once installed, you can use the dot-cli command to render templates:

dot-cli --template <template_file> --json <data_file> --output <output_file>

• --template <template_file>: Path to the doT template file.
• --json <data_file>: Path to the JSON file containing data.
• --output <output_file>: Path where the rendered output will be saved.

Example

Let's say you have the following template file template.dot:

<div>
  <h1>{{=it.title}}</h1>
  <p>{{=it.description}}</p>
</div>

And a JSON file data.json:

{
  "title": "Welcome to My Site",
  "description": "This is a description of my site."
}

You can render the template with the data and save the output to result.html:

dot-cli --template template.dot --json data.json --output result.html

This will produce the following output in result.html:

<div>
  <h1>Welcome to My Site</h1>
  <p>This is a description of my site.</p>
</div>
