charms.templating.jinja2.render(source=None, target=None, context=None, template=None, owner='root', group='root', perms=292, encoding='UTF-8', filters=None, tests=None, templates_dir=None, template_loader=None)

Render a template.

Example usages:

render('app.conf.j2', '/etc/app.conf', {
    'my_var': 'my_val',
})

output = render(
    'tmpl.j2',
    tests={
        'isnumeric': lambda s: s.isnumeric(),
    })

from jinja2 import Template
output = render(
    template='{{ config["my-opt"]|my_upper }}',
    filters={
        'my_upper': lambda s: s.upper(),
    })
Parameters:
  • source (str) – Template path, relative to templates_dir.
  • target (str) – Target path. Should be absolute path, or None (in which case the output will not be written, and only returned).
  • context (dict) –

    Map of additional context variables to be passed to the template. Templates will always be given the following variables:

    • config A mapping of all of the charm config options.
  • owner (str) – Name of the user that should own the target file.
  • group (str) – Name of the group that should own the target file.
  • perms (int) – Permissions of the target file.
  • filters (dict) –

    Custom filters to be given to the template. Templates will always be given the following filters:

    • map_format Exactly the same as the built-in format filter, but with the order of the args rearranged to work with map.
  • templates_dir (str) – Directory in which to look for templates. Defaults to $CHARM_DIR/templates.
  • encoding (str) – Defaults to UTF-8.
  • template_loader (class) – Template loader class to use instead of FileSystemLoader.
Returns:

The rendered template is returned as well as written to the target file (if not None).
