Features

Jinjamator currently has following features:

• run tasks written in python3

• run tasks written in jinja2

• register functions via content plugin system for python3 and jinja2 tasks, to have the same functionality.

• run standalone as CLI application

• run as REST API daemon, exporting tasks via REST API

• gathering of required user inputs, determined by code inspection

• validation of user inputs

• log everthing to a database (daemon mode only, CLI is on roadmap)

• support of different (customer) environments

• distributed operation (daemon mode only)

• output plugin system to further process data generated by tasks (e.g.: generate excel files from everthing)

• includes a simple single-page javascript webapp for running tasks (automatically generates wizards from the task code)
