How to generate a markdown file

You need a template file for generating a markdown file. You can have a look at the examples provided by the MdBOM project.

Once you have a template and a BOM you should be able to generate a markdown file via

mdb generate --input bom.json --output 3rd-party.md --template template.md.jinja --type pypi

This will take the "bom.json" file as input, collect all relevant information and use the "template.md.jinja" template to generate the "3rd-party.md" file.

Currently, MdBOM does support the following two BOM types via the "--type" option:

• pypi
• npm
