amplecode.recipe.template 1.1

Buildout Options

• template-file (required): One or more Jinja2 template file paths.

• target-file (required): One of more target file paths. The number of files must match the number of template files.

• base-dir: Base directory of the Jinja2 environment. Template file paths are relative to this directory. Default is the Buildout directory.

• target-executable: One or more boolean flags (yes|no|true|false|1|0) indicating the executability of the target files. If only one flag is given it is applied to all target files.

• eggs: Reserved for a list of eggs, conveniently converted into a pkg_resources.WorkingSet when specified

Additional options are simply forwarded to the templates, and options from all the other parts listed in buildout:parts are made available through parts.<part-name>.<option-name> and parts[<part-name>][<option-name>].

Lists of Values

It is possible for a recipe option to contain one or more values, separated by whitespace. A split filter is available for when you want to iterate over the whitespace separated values in your Jinja2 template:

#!/bin/sh
{% for cmd in cmds|split %}
   echo "{{ cmd }}"
{% endfor %}

Minimal Example

foo.txt is created from foo.txt.jinja2 without any extra options:

[buildout]
parts = foo

[foo]
recipe = amplecode.recipe.template
template-file = foo.txt.jinja2
target-file = foo.txt

Larger Example

foo.txt is created from myapp/foo.txt.jinja2, bar.sh is created from myapp/bar.sh.jinja2, the second will be executable, and both templates can utilize the additional options specified:

[buildout]
parts = foo

[foo]
recipe = amplecode.recipe.template
base-dir = myapp
template-file =
    foo.txt.jinja2
    bar.sh.jinja2
target-file =
    foo.txt
    bar.sh
target-executable =
    false
    true
