✨ NAME ✨

chevron — a Python implementaion of mustache, the Command Line Version 💅

(yes bestie, "implementaion" is spelled exactly like that in the source and we do not edit the source, that's the whole vibe 😌)

---

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

okay so you wanna render mustache templates from your terminal and you want it to be cute about it? say less.

Here's the usage, character for character, no cap:

chevron [-h] [-v] [-d DATA] [-p PARTIALS_PATH] [-e PARTIALS_EXT]
        [-l DEF_LDEL] [-r DEF_RDEL] [-w] template

(the original wraps it over two lines like that, we're keeping it fr fr 🫶)

---

🌸 positional arguments 🌸

• template — the mustache file you're rendering. that's the main character of this whole operation, periodt.

---

🎀 options 🎀

• -h, --help — show this help message and exit 🫶 (your lil emergency exit when you forget everything)
• -v, --version — show program's version number and exit ⭐
• -d, --data DATA — the json data file 💾 your template is gonna drink from
• -p, --path PARTIALS_PATH — the directory where your partials reside 📂 like, where your lil side-templates hang out
• -e, --ext PARTIALS_EXT — the extension for your mustache partials, 'mustache' by default 🍓
• -l, --left-delimiter DEF_LDEL — the default left delimiter, "{{" by default. (we love a classic 💜)
• -r, --right-delimiter DEF_RDEL — the default right delimiter, "}}" by default. (matching set, iconic 👑)
• -w, --warn — print a warning to stderr for each undefined template key encountered 💀 so like, when your template asks for something that isn't in the data? you'll get told. no silent mystery, we respect you.

---

lowkey important note from the source: this manpage was developed by Aryan Karamtoth using help2man for the Debian GNU/Linux System, but it can be used for other distributions or operating systems too 🌈

and that's the whole thing bestie, go render something gorgeous 💖
