Print terraform template rendered output in terminal?

Question

In the terraform docs it shows how to use a template. Is there any way to log this rendered output the console?

https://www.terraform.io/docs/configuration/interpolation.html#templates

data "template_file" "example" {
  template = "${hello} ${world}!"
  vars {
    hello = "goodnight"
    world = "moon"
  }
}

output "rendered" {
  value = "${template_file.example.rendered}"
}

You need to run terraform apply then terraform output rendered

$ terraform apply
 template_file.example: Creating...
   rendered:   "" => "<computed>"
   template:   "" => "${hello} ${world}!"
   vars.#:     "" => "2"
   vars.hello: "" => "goodnight"
   vars.world: "" => "moon"
 template_file.example: Creation complete

 Apply complete! Resources: 1 added, 0 changed, 0 destroyed.

 The state of your infrastructure has been saved to the path
 below. This state is required to modify and destroy your
 infrastructure, so keep it safe. To inspect the complete state
 use the `terraform show` command.

 State path: terraform.tfstate

 Outputs:

   rendered = goodnight moon!
 $ terraform output rendered
 goodnight moon!
