Can plop produce files based on json file inputs?

Description :

I want to generate some files using pre-prepared templates. I'd like to pass a JSON file to the prompt, which will allow for the direct generation of the templates based on its content.

You should be able to use the normal node API to load and parse data out of a JSON file and pass it to actions that you want to execute. Each Action supports a data prop as part of the API. An object passed to this prop will be merged with user answer data before running the action.

I have this desire too -- to be able to import prompt values from a json file rather than use the command-line. (My workaround is to write a shell script that translates the json file into command-line parameters.)

I'm not really understanding the advice from @amwmedia. I see that each action supports a data property, but the json file should influence the prompts (not actions).
