Usage

Following is a very simple command to generate output to stdout from specified mustache template by using the input file as its templating context.

Following is an example to output html from a CSV file input.

Currently input file must be formatted in CSV or JSON. By default mustang checks its file extension and detect its format. You can add '-f' option to specify input file format explicitly.

You can also use stdin for piping.

Adding '-o' option, mustang output is saved to specified file.

If you want to output multiple files from each input records, add '-m' option and set output directory path in '-o' option.

By using "-u" option, mustang downloads the content directly from specified URL and use it as input source.

Also mustang can connnect to database and query records from database table/collection. Currently MySQL and MongoDB is supported for database.

Following example shows how to fetch all records in "emp" table in MySQL database.

You can directly pass a SQL to fetch records by "-q" option.

Following example shows how to fetch all records in "users" collection in MongoDB.

You can also set URL-style query string in "-q" option to specify both querying collection and filter.
