Declare variables file and use in other files

[assayire]

Hi,

How can I declare a vars.tmpl file with variables as a source of truth, and be able to include/use vars.tmpl in other files?

I tried a few different ways based on what I understood from the documentation, and also extensive web search. None of them worked ☹️

Is there a pattern available for this?

Thanks 🙏

You may export environment variables and then access them with gomplate as follows

  custom_var: |-
    {{ .Env.CUSTOM_VAR }}

That's one way - thanks @tewfik-ghariani!

Another approach is to use nested templates. See https://docs.gomplate.ca/usage/#--template-t
