NetBox version

v3.6.6

Feature type

Change to existing functionality

Proposed functionality

Add ability to pass some context data and render a template within the GUI based on the context data.

Use case

Currently, you are able to render the configuration templates manually within the API (POST /api/extras/config-templates/9/render/) however no such ability exists within the GUI.

Having the ability to pass context data via a form and produced rendered content would bring parity to this feature between the API and the GUI.

It would allow testing and validation of templates prior to deploying them to a new platform and allow for "snippets" to be generated to make changes.

Changes required

  • New url (/render)
  • New view (ConfigTemplateRender)
  • New form (ConfigTemplateRender)

Database changes

No database changes
