This example shows how to pass through stdin a template obtaining the output to the stdout:

echo '<h1>Foo</h1>' | templatefy --var=example

# ouput
# var example = '<h1>Foo</h1>';

As you can see it's possible use any string passed into the templatefy stdin, another example using the command cat:

cat index.html | templatefy --exports

# ouput
# module.exports = '<h1>Foo</h1>';

If want parse a html file using the command arguments, you can define the file path using --input and --ouput to define the output result By default if you don't define --output it be will print the result in the promt stdout.

echo '<h1>Foo</h1>' > template.html

cat template.html | templatefy --exports
# or
templatefy --input=./template.html --exports
# or
templatefy --input="<h1>Foo</h1>" --exports

# ouput
# module.exports = '<h1>Foo</h1>';

cat template.html | templatefy --exports --ouput=./ouput.js

# contents of ouput.js
# module.exports = '<h1>Foo</h1>';
