Templates in Webhook

webhook can parse the hooks.json input file as a Go template when given the -template CLI parameter.

In additional to the built-in Go template functions and features, webhook provides a getenv template function for inserting environment variables into a hooks.json file.

Example Usage

In the example hooks.json file below, the payload-hash-sha1 matching rule looks up the secret hash from the environment using the getenv template function. Additionally, the result is piped through the built-in Go template function js to ensure that the result is a well-formed Javascript/JSON string.
