# TemplateVariableInfo {#modules.TemplateVariableInfo}

Encapsulates template variables, that is, variables that can be referenced by strings like `$(VARIABLE)` in BUILD files and expanded by `ctx.expand_make_variables` and implicitly in certain attributes of built-in rules.

`TemplateVariableInfo` can be created by calling its eponymous constructor with a string-to-string dict as an argument that specifies the variables provided.

Example: `platform_common.TemplateVariableInfo({'FOO': 'bar'})`
