Glu

Simple config file generation library. Glu refers to glue ing variables and templates.

Sometimes config files are largely duplicated, differ a little. You can apply DRY principle for that. You might use a template engines like Jinja, or make a simple code for configuring. Glu is simple python library to make your config configurable.

Quick Start

It's syntax similar to other template engines.

{
    "name": "World"
}

{
    "greeting": "Hello, {{ name }}"
}

// generated
{
    "greeting": "Hello, World"
}

If template expression is used solely (not interpolated), its value is inserted, whatever value type is. Also you can access nested scope using .

{
    "counting": {
        "number": [1, 2, 3],
        "english": ["one", "two", "three"]
    }
}

{
    "123": "{{counting.number}}",
    "one_two_three": "{{counting.english}}"
}

// generated
{
    "123": [1, 2, 3],
    "one_two_three": ["one", "two", "three"]
}
