module: config_template
version_added: 1.9.2
short_description: Renders template files providing a create/update override interface
description:
  - The module contains the template functionality with the ability to override items
    in config, in transit, through the use of a simple dictionary without having to
    write out various temp files on target machines. The module renders all of the
    potential jinja a user could provide in both the template file and in the override
    dictionary which is ideal for deployers who may have lots of different configs
    using a similar code base.
  - The module is an extension of the **copy** module and all of attributes that can be
    set there are available to be set here.
options:
  src:
    description:
      - Path of a Jinja2 formatted template on the local server. This can be a relative
        or absolute path.
    required: true
    default: null
  dest:
    description:
      - Location to render the template to on the remote machine.
    required: true
    default: null
  config_overrides:
    description:
      - A dictionary used to update or override items within a configuration template.
        The dictionary data structure may be nested. If the target config file is an ini
        file the nested keys in the ``config_overrides`` will be used as section
        headers.
  config_type:
    description:
      - A string value describing the target config type.
    choices:
      - ini
      - json
      - yaml
