## Examples

### Load template variables

- Load from environment

```
export webroot=/usr/share/nginx/html
export port=8080
frep nginx.conf.in
```

- Load from arguments

```
frep nginx.conf.in -e webroot=/usr/share/nginx/html -e port=8080
```

- Load from JSON String

```
frep nginx.conf.in --json '{"webroot": "/usr/share/nginx/html", "port": 8080}'
```

- Load from JSON file

```
cat > config.json << EOF
{
"webroot": "/usr/share/nginx/html",
"port": 8080,
"servers": [
"127.0.0.1:8081",
"127.0.0.1:8082"
]
}
EOF

frep nginx.conf.in --load config.json
```

- Load from YAML file

```
cat > config.yaml << EOF
webroot: /usr/share/nginx/html
port: 8080
servers:
- 127.0.0.1:8081
- 127.0.0.1:8082
EOF

frep nginx.conf.in --load config.yaml
```

- Load from TOML file

```
cat > config.toml << EOF
webroot = /usr/share/nginx/html
port = 8080
servers = [
"127.0.0.1:8081",
"127.0.0.1:8082"
]
EOF

frep nginx.conf.in --load config.toml
```

### Input/Output

- Input from file

```
// input file: nginx.conf
frep nginx.conf.in
```

- Input from console(stdin)

```
// input from stdin pipe
echo "{{ .Env.PATH }}" | frep -
```

- Output to default file (Removed last file ext)

```
// output file: nginx.conf
frep nginx.conf.in --overwrite
```

- Output to the specified file

```
// output file: /etc/nginx.conf
frep nginx.conf.in:/etc/nginx.conf --overwrite -e port=8080
```

- Output to console(stdout)

```
frep nginx.conf.in --dryrun
frep nginx.conf.in:-
```

- Output multiple files

```
frep nginx.conf.in redis.conf.in ...
```

## Template

Templates use Golang [text/template](http://golang.org/pkg/text/template/).

You can access environment variables within a template

```
Env.PATH = {{ .Env.PATH }}
```

If your template file uses `{{` and `}}` as part of it's syntax,
you can change the template escape characters using the `--delims`.

```
frep --delims "<%:%>" ...
```

There are some built-in functions as well: Masterminds/sprig v2.22.0
- github: https://github.com/Masterminds/sprig
- doc: http://masterminds.github.io/sprig/

More [funcs](https://github.com/subchen/frep/blob/master/func.go) added:
- toJson
- toYaml
- toToml
- toBool
- fileSize
- fileLastModified
- fileGetBytes
- fileGetString
- fileExists
- include
- countRune
- pipeline compatible regex functions from sprig
- reReplaceAll
- reReplaceAllLiteral
- reSplit
- awsSecret
- awsParameterStore

Sample of nginx.conf.in

```
server {
listen {{ .port }} default_server;

root {{ .webroot | default "/usr/share/nginx/html" }};
index index.html index.htm;

location /api {
{{ include "shared/log.nginx" | indent 8 | trim }}
proxy_pass http://backend;
}
}

upstream backend {
ip_hash;
{{- range .servers }}
server {{.}};
{{- end }}
}
```

Sample using secrets, first of all take into account that in order to use the secret functionality you need to have a proper AWS configuration in place and permissions enough to read secrets from AWS Secrets Manager. More details of how to configure AWSCLI can be found at https://docs.aws.amazon.com/cli/latest/userguide/cli-chap-configure.html

Once you have all the requirements just create a template like this one:

```
# application.conf
mysql_host: {{ .mysql_host }}
mysql_user: {{ .mysql_user }}
mysql_pass: {{ awsSecret "application/mysql/password" }}
```
In above example `mysql_host` and `mysql_user` will be filled as usual by using `frep` config file or environment variables but `mysql_pass` will be fetch straight from AWS Secrets Manager by looking at secret name `application/mysql/password`

If you have multiple items in a single secret you can retrieve an specific key by specifying the key you want in template, for example:

```
# application.conf
mysql_host: {{ .mysql_host }}
mysql_user: {{ .mysql_user }}
mysql_pass: {{ awsSecret "application/mysql/password" }}

external_api_client: {{ awsSecret "application/external_api" "client_id" }}
external_api_secret: {{ awsSecret "application/external_api" "secret_key" }}
```

Sample using AWS Parameter Store, first of all take into account that in order to use the ssm functionality you need to have a proper AWS configuration in place and permissions enough to read parameters from AWS Parameter Store. More details of how to configure AWSCLI can be found at https://docs.aws.amazon.com/cli/latest/userguide/cli-chap-configure.html

Once you have all the requirements just create a template like this one:

```
# application.conf
mysql_host: {{ .mysql_host }}
mysql_user: {{ .mysql_user }}
mysql_pass: {{ awsSecret "application/mysql/password" }}
mysql_dns: {{ awsParameterStore "application/mysql/dns" }}
```
In above example `mysql_dns` will be filled as usual by using `frep` config file or environment variables but `mysql_pass` will be fetch straight from AWS Parameter Store by looking at `application/mysql/dns`

SSM Limitation: You can get parameter from ParameterStore just in textplain.
