title: Template fields
description: Explain Renovate template fields

# Template fields
In order to provide flexible configuration, Renovate supports using "templates" for certain fields like `addLabels`, `branchName`, `extractVersionTemplate`, `labels`.
Renovate's templates use [handlebars](https://handlebarsjs.com/) under the hood.
You can recognize templates when you see strings like `{{depName}}` in configuration fields.
Below you can find lists of fields/values that you can use in templates.
Some are configuration options passed through, while others are generated as part of Renovate's run.
`logJSON` and `releases` are only allowed in `commitBody` template.
## Exposed config options
<!-- Autogenerate in https://github.com/renovatebot/renovate -->
<!-- Autogenerate end -->
<!-- Automatically insert exposed configuration options here -->
## Other available fields
<!-- Autogenerate in https://github.com/renovatebot/renovate -->
<!-- Autogenerate end -->
<!-- Insert runtime fields here -->
## Additional Handlebars helpers
### and
Returns `true` only if all expressions are `true`.
`{{#if (and isMajor hasReleaseNotes)}}Backwards Incompatible release! Check out the Release notes.{{/if}}`
In the example above, it will only show a text if `isMajor=true` and `hasReleaseNotes=true`.
### containsString
Returns `true` if a given string is a substring.
`{{#if (containsString depName 'python')}}Python{{else}}Other{{/if}}`
### decodeURIComponent
If you want to decode a percent-encoded string, use the built-in function `decodeURIComponent` like this:
`{{{decodeURIComponent depName}}}`
In the example above `depName` is the string you want to decode.
Read the [MDN Web Docs, decodeURIComponent()](https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/JavaScript/Reference/Global_Objects/decodeURIComponent) to learn more.
### distinct
Removes duplicate elements from an array.
`{{#each (distinct (lookupArray (lookupArray upgrades "prBodyDefinitions") "Issue"))}} {{{.}}}{{/each}}`
### encodeBase64
If you want to convert a string to Base64, use the built-in function `encodeBase64` like this:
`{{{encodeBase64 body}}}`
In the example above `body` is the string you want to transform into a Base64-encoded value.
### encodeURIComponent
If you want to convert a string to a valid URI, use the built-in function `encodeURIComponent` like this:
`{{{encodeURIComponent baseDir}}}`
In the example above `baseDir` is the string you want to transform into a valid URI.
Read the [MDN Web Docs, encodeURIComponent()](https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/JavaScript/Reference/Global_Objects/encodeURIComponent) to learn more.
### equals
Returns `true` if two values equals (checks strict equality, i.e. `===`).
`{{#if (equals datasource 'git-refs')}}git-refs{{else}}Other{{/if}}`
### lookupArray
Similar to the built-in [`lookup`](https://handlebarsjs.com/guide/builtin-helpers.html#lookup)
helper, but performs lookups in every element of an array, instead of just one object.
For example:
`{{#each (lookupArray upgrades "prBodyDefinitions")}} {{{Issue}}}{{/each}}`
will produce the same output as:
`{{#each upgrades}}{{#with prBodyDefinitions}} {{{Issue}}}{{/with}}{{/each}}`.
The return value of `lookupArray` can be passed to other helpers - for example,
to `distinct`.
### lowercase
The `lowercase` helper converts a given string to lower case.
`{{{ lowercase depName }}}`
### or
Returns `true` if at least one expression is `true`.
`{{#if (or isPatch isSingleVersion}}Small update, safer to merge and release.{{else}}Check out the changelog for all versions before merging!{{/if}}`
### replace
The `replace` helper replaces _all_ found strings matching the given regex with the replacement string.
If you want to replace some characters in a string, use the built-in function `replace` like this:
`{{{replace '[a-z]+\.github\.com' 'ghc' depName}}}`
In the example above all matches of the regex `[a-z]+\.github\.com` will be replaced by `ghc` in `depName`.
Read the [MDN Web Docs, String.prototype.replace()](https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/JavaScript/Reference/Global_Objects/String/replace) to learn more.
### split
Splits a string into an array of substrings.
This example splits a package name by `-` and gets the second part:
`{{ lookup (split packageName '-') 1 }}`
An input of `foo-bar-test` therefor would return `bar`.
### stringToPrettyJSON
If you want to print pretty JSON with Handlebars you can use the built-in function `stringToPrettyJSON` like this:
`{{{stringToPrettyJSON myvar}}}`
In the example above `myvar` is a variable/field, that has valid JSON.
### toArray
If you want to convert elements to an array, use `toArray`, e.g.,
`{{{ toJSON (toArray 'value1' 'value2' 'value3') }}}` will render `["value1","value2","value3"]`.
### toJSON
If you want to convert an object to a JSON string, you can use the built-in function `toJSON` like this:
`{{{ toJSON upgrades }}}`
### toObject
If you want to convert key-value pairs to an object, use `toObject`, e.g.,
`{{{ toJSON (toObject 'key1' 'value1' 'key2' 'value2') }}}` will render `{"key1":"value1","key2":"value2"}`.
## Environment variables
By default, you can only access a handful of basic environment variables like `HOME` or `PATH`.
This is for security reasons.
`HOME is {{env.HOME}}`
If you're self-hosting Renovate, you can expose more variables with the [`customEnvVariables`](./self-hosted-configuration.md#customenvvariables) config option.
You can also use the [`exposeAllEnv`](./self-hosted-configuration.md#exposeallenv) config option to allow all environment variables in templates, but make sure to consider the security implications of giving the scripts unrestricted access to all variables.
