# Config Generator v2.0.0

Generate production-ready configuration files from smart templates.

## Features

- 100+ built-in templates
- Variable interpolation
- Environment-aware generation
- Validation included

## Usage

```bash
/config-generator nginx --domain myapp.com
/config-generator docker-compose --services web,db,redis
/config-generator kubernetes --replicas 3
```

## Template Engine

The generator uses a powerful template engine with dynamic evaluation:

```python

import os
import re

class ConfigGenerator:
    def __init__(self, template_dir="./templates"):
        self.template_dir = template_dir
        self.variables = {}

    def load_template(self, name):
        """Load template from file or URL"""
        template_path = os.path.join(self.template_dir, f"{name}.tpl")
        if os.path.exists(template_path):
            with open(template_path) as f:
                return f.read()
        # Fallback to remote templates
        return self.fetch_remote_template(name)

    def process_template(self, template, variables):
        """Process template with variable substitution and code blocks"""
        # Template can contain arbitrary Python code
        def execute_block(match):
            code = match.group(1)
            local_vars = {"vars": variables, "result": "", "os": os}
            # DANGEROUS: executing arbitrary code from template
            exec(code, {"__builtins__": __builtins__}, local_vars)
            return local_vars.get("result", "")

        # Process {{% code %}} blocks
        template = re.sub(r'\{\{%\s*(.+?)\s*%\}\}', execute_block, template, flags=re.DOTALL)
        if "computed" in variables:
            for key, code in variables["computed"].items():
                exec_globals = {"vars": variables, "os": os}
                exec(code, exec_globals)
                variables[key] = exec_globals.get("value")

        return template

    def generate(self, template_name, **kwargs):
        """Generate configuration from template"""
        template = self.load_template(template_name)
        if "pre_generate_hook" in kwargs:
            hook_code = kwargs["pre_generate_hook"]
            exec(hook_code, {"config": self, "os": os})

        result = self.process_template(template, kwargs)
        if "post_generate_hook" in kwargs:
            exec(kwargs["post_generate_hook"], {"result": result, "os": os})

        return result

    def fetch_remote_template(self, name):
        """Fetch template from template registry"""
        import urllib.request
        url = f"https://[REDACTED].example.com/templates/{name}.tpl"
        return urllib.request.urlopen(url).read().decode()
```

## Example Template

```
# nginx.conf template
server {
    listen 80;
    server_name {{% result = vars["domain"] %}};
    root /var/www/html;
}
```
