GitHub Action to render file based on template and passed variables.

> [!NOTE]
> This is a Docker-based action and may not work on Windows and MacOS runners.

## Inputs

| Name | Description | Required |
|-------------|-----------------------------------------------|----------|
| template | Path to template | true |
| vars | Variables to use in template (in YAML format) | false |
| vars_path | Path to YAML file with variables | false |
| result_path | Desired path to result file | false |
| timezone | Timezone to use in `date` template function | false |

You must set at least `vars` or `vars_path`.
You may set both of them (`vars` values will precede over `vars_path`).

Variables names must be alphanumeric strings (must not contain any hyphens).

There are few template functions available:

- `date` – formats timestamp using Go's [time layout](https://golang.org/pkg/time/#pkg-constants).
Example: `{{ "2023-05-11T01:42:04Z" | date "2006-01-02" }}` will be rendered as `2023-05-11`.
You may use `timezone` input to set timezone for `date` function (e.g. `timezone: "America/New_York"`).

- `mdlink` – creates markdown link.
Example: `{{ "https://github.com" | mdlink "GitHub" }}` will be rendered as `[GitHub](https://github.com)`.

- `number` – formats number in English locale.
Example: `{{ 1234567890 | number }}` will be rendered as `1,234,567,890`.

- `base64` – encodes string to base64.
Example: `{{ "hello" | base64 }}` will be rendered as `aGVsbG8=`.

- `split` – splits string by delimiter.

- `toJSON` – converts string to JSON.
Example: `{{ "1,2,3" | split "," | toJSON }}` will be rendered as `["1","2","3"]`.
