renderix 1.0.0

Simple templating engine

renderix

Simple templating engine.

renderix renders a template file by replacing placeholders with values loaded from a TOML file named renderix.toml in the current working directory.

---

Features

• Tiny, no-dependency templating
• Variables loaded from renderix.toml
• Placeholders: [- name -]
• For loops over arrays of tables
• Conditionals (if / elif / else)
• Output to stdout by default, or write to a file

---

Installation

uv tool install renderix

Or:

git clone https://codeberg.org/nietarne/renderix.git
cd renderix
uv tool install .

---

Quick start

1. Create a renderix.toml in your working directory:

name = "John Doe"

2. Create a template file, e.g. template.txt:

Hello [- name -]

3. Render it to stdout:

renderix -t template.txt

---

Syntax

All tags use [- ... -] delimiters. Whitespace inside is flexible: [- name -] and [-name-] are both valid.

Variables

Hello, [- name -]!

For loops

# renderix.toml
[[employees]]
name = "John"
age = 40

[[employees]]
name = "Jane"
age = 42

[- for employee in employees -]
- [- employee.name -] is [- employee.age -] years old
[- endfor -]

Conditionals

[- if status == "active" -]
Active user
[- elif status == "pending" -]
Pending approval
[- else -]
Inactive
[- endif -]

Supported condition forms:

Form	Example
Truthy/falsy check	[- if user -]
Equality	[- if status == "active" -]
Inequality	[- if count != 0 -]
Comparison	[- if score >= 10 -]
