Template Filling
Template filling is a software development technique that involves populating predefined templates with dynamic data to generate documents, code, or other structured outputs. It is commonly used in document generation, code scaffolding, and configuration management to automate repetitive tasks and ensure consistency. Tools and libraries for template filling typically parse templates containing placeholders and replace them with actual values from data sources.
Developers should learn template filling to streamline workflows in scenarios like generating reports, emails, or configuration files from data, such as in web applications using server-side rendering or in build processes for code generation. It reduces manual errors and saves time in projects requiring repetitive output generation, such as in documentation tools, CI/CD pipelines, or dynamic content systems.
