# 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

<!-- Automatically insert exposed configuration options here -->
## Other available fields

<!-- Insert runtime fields here -->
## Additional Handlebars helpers
### 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.
### 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.
### replace
The `replace` helper replaces _all_ found strings with the replacement string.
If you want to replace some characters in a string, use the built-in function `replace` like this:
`{{{replace 'github.com' 'ghc' depName}}}`
In the example above all matches of `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.
### lowercase
The `lowercase` helper converts a given string to lower case.
`{{{ lowercase depName }}}`
### containsString
Returns `true` if a given string is a substring.
`{{#if (containsString depName 'python')}}Python{{else}}Other{{/if}}`
### 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`.
### 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}}`
