Liquid-CLI

A command-line wrapper over the liquid ruby library by Shopify.

Installation

$ gem install liquid-cli

Usage

Supply a template on stdin and an optional context as JSON.

$ echo 'Hi, my name is {{ name }}.' | liquid '{ "name": "Pat" }'
Hi, my name is Pat.

Use shell redirection to make handling larger templates and contexts easier:

$ cat context.json
{
  "title": "A title",
  "posts": [
    {
      "link": "/posts/foo",
      "content": "Foo"
    },
    {
      "link": "/posts/bar",
      "content": "Bar"
    }
  ]
}

$ liquid "$(< context.json)" <<EOF
<h1>{{ title }}</h1>
{% for post in posts %}
  <a href="{{ post.link }}">{{ post.content }}</a>
{% endfor %}
EOF
