Description

Currently freemarker-cli allows to transform

• a single template using 0-n data source => file/stdout
• multiple templates using 0-n shared data sources => files/stdout
• a directory of templates using 0-n shared data sources => directory/stdout

# Transforming a directory of data source with a single template
freemarker-generator -t examples/templates/properties/csv/locker-test-users.ftl examples/data/properties 

# Transforming a directory of templates using data sources
freemarker-generator -t examples/data/template -m examples/data/ftl/nginx/nginx.env -o target/template

# Transforming multiple templates using 0-n shared data sources & data models
freemarker-generator \
-t templates/freemarker-generator/csv/md/transform.ftl -o target/contract.md \
-t templates/freemarker-generator/csv/html/transform.ftl -o target/contract.html \
examples/data/csv/contract.csv

It would be nice to support the transformation of multiple templates using individual set of data sources, e.g.

freemarker-generator \
 -t templates/freemarker-generator/csv/md/transform.ftl -s examples/data/csv/contract.csv -o target/contract.md \
 -t templates/freemarker-generator/csv/html/transform.ftl -s examples/data/csv/sales-records.csv -o target/sales-records.html
