If answer is hours, well..., TTR might be able to save you some time, probably around 70% of what you normally spend on composing text manually.

How?

Pluggable systems are great, they are expendable, adaptable, re-usable, plugins functionality self contained etc.

TTR is a pluggable framework that aims to implement this work flow:

load data -> process data -> load data models -> validate data -> load templates -> render (combine data with templates) -> get results

Where each step accompanied with a set of plugins to fulfill in the moment requirements.

What?

TTR is very general in terms of supported data and templates, providing space for numerous use cases.

One of such use-cases might be network devices configuration generation - take inventory (XLSX LLD or CSV spreadsheets or YAML or you name it), combine it with templates and find hundreds of lines of configuration generated in a matter of seconds.
