Jinjabread is a very simple jinja syntax checking tool for creating SaltStack states.
It's divided into 4 windows, Grains, Pillar, State and Output, assuming you're familiar with SaltStack this does not require much explanation. If none of that makes sense, SaltStack is a Remote Execution Framework with Configuration Management capabilities. If you're a sysadmin/devops/ITguy supporting IT infrastructure of any size, SaltStack is great and you should check it out.
Essentially, you type in the grains and pillar data you want, write your state template with your jinja2, press ctrl+b or click the render button.
If things go well, it produces the state in the output to make sure it rendered correctly. If an error has occured it should tell you with relative accuracy where it went wrong.
But, why?
Figuring out where and why your state broke can be an arduous task, especially if you are just starting out with SaltStack for the first time. This tool aims to help either getting started writing states, or just debugging that one state you just can't seem to fix.
I hope you enjoy it
