Templates as a service.

diecutter exposes an API where you manage templates as resources. The most common operation is to POST data to templates in order to retrieve generated files.

Files and directories are supported. Directories are rendered as archives.

Note

Diecutter is under active development: some (killer) features have not been implemented yet, or they are not mature. Check milestones and vision for details.

That said, features documented below actually work, so give it a try!

Example

GET raw content of a template:

System Message: ERROR/3 (<string>, line 30)

Unknown directive type "code-block".

.. code-block:: text

   $ curl -X GET http://diecutter.io/api/greetings.txt
   {{ greetings|default('Hello') }} {{ name }}!

POST data to the template and retrieve generated content:

System Message: ERROR/3 (<string>, line 37)

Unknown directive type "code-block".

.. code-block:: text

   $ curl -X POST -d name=world http://diecutter.io/api/greetings.txt
   Hello world!
