Simple Handlebars CLI

Simple, but already useful CLI for generating text from handlebars templates, by feeding them with data from file (YAML parser used is for it, so JSON is also supported), writen in Rust programming language (with usage serde_yaml and handlebars crates).

Goal

The idea is to prepare utility which should be easly used from shell script.

Usage

The simplest call:

hbs-cli <properties file> <template file> > <output file>

or

hbs-cli <properties file> <template file> -o <output file>

Or with template registration for using them as partials:

hbs-cli <properties file> <template file> -r 'partials/**/*.hbs'

Where <properties file> can be ether YAML or JSON (as YAML parser is a JSON parser too) and <template file> is handlebars template. Template is generated on standard output.

To see more options call hbs-cli --help.
