Automating templates creation with python

[PiotrKrosniak]

Hello,
Nexrender is great ! Love the features, took me two days to figure out everything, but all great. Just want to share script I'm using for speed JSON file creation in Python, maybe will be usfull for others.

from string import Template
import json
import pandas as pd 

row_no = 0

if __name__ == '__main__':
    data = dict(
        group = df.loc[row_no,"Group"],
        #add other data points 
    )
    with open('.../template.json', 'r') as json_file: #template Json file
        content = ''.join(json_file.readlines())
        template = Template(content)
        configuration = json.loads(template.substitute(data))
        print(configuration)#print json file 
        with open('data_set3.json', 'w') as f: #save JSOn to new file 
            json.dump(configuration, f)

and your template structure like this

{
            "type": "data",
            "layerName": "group",
            "composition": "VStext1",
            "property": "Source Text",
            "value": "${group}" #Use this notation for all data points 
        },
