Binary/CLI?

[four43]

I'm looking to install mustache just as a binary, but the default in the Ubuntu package manager is the CLI tool provided by the ruby implementation. Well then I need all this Ruby junk just to run a template engine! Go and it's static binary output seems perfect for the task. Any interest in creating a CLI on top of your library that would match the Ruby implementation?

Thanks!

I'm dumb, already asked in #9 but I just searched the phrase "CLI". DOH!

I actually think I've figured out how to implement this as a package and CLI since closing that previous ticket. Going to take a stab at it now.

There is actually another project already doing it. Check out: https://github.com/quantumew/mustache-cli

@cbroglie gonna tag you, man. I don't want you wasting an evening lol

Heh, no worries. I want to go through the exercise anyways.

Awesome. Keep me posted. I’m excited to see what you come up with. -- -Seth

You can now install the binary using go get:

➜  ~ go get github.com/cbroglie/mustache/...
➜  ~ mustache
Usage:
  mustache [data] template [flags]

Examples:
  $ mustache data.yml template.mustache
  $ cat data.yml | mustache template.mustache

Flags:
  -h, --help   help for mustache
➜  ~

Nice work! That's great. I'll have to give it a try. We don't install go on our environment either. If you're feeling fancy, can you publish a release withe the built binary? That would help users like me who don't want to have go installed in their environment either adopt it. Thanks man!

I opened #20 to address that. Should be doable, but I won't have a chance to get around to it for at least a week.
