Hi there! I’m new to Go development. Is there a Go library for consul-template?

As an example, there is a [Vault Go library](https://github.com/hashicorp/vault-client-go).

Thanks!

Hi @UnguardedFist,

Welcome to the HashiCorp Forums!

Consul-template itself is a Go library, and can be imported and used in your Go programs.

ref: [template package - github.com/hashicorp/consul-template/template - Go Packages](https://pkg.go.dev/github.com/hashicorp/consul-template/template#pkg-variables)

This is how for example Nomad uses consul-template: [nomad/client/allocrunner/taskrunner/template/template.go at 76e39b1c1ebe4663093da4e5735ac694d639e3a0 · hashicorp/nomad · GitHub](https://github.com/hashicorp/nomad/blob/76e39b1c1ebe4663093da4e5735ac694d639e3a0/client/allocrunner/taskrunner/template/template.go#L19)

I hope this helps!
