About Render
A command-line tool for rendering templates from Jade, Handlebars, Swig, and other engines into HTML or text files.
Render is a CLI utility that takes template files and optional JSON or YAML context data and produces rendered output. It supports one-to-one rendering (a single template to a single file) and one-to-many rendering (iterating over an array or object to produce multiple output files from one template). It's aimed at developers building static sites, generating config files, or populating code skeletons without needing a separate command-line tool for each templating language.
Where to start
Install the package globally via npm, then run the `render` command with a template file and optionally pass context data using `--context` to supply JSON or YAML variables. Redirect stdout or use `--output` with path placeholders to control where files are written.
