Simple JS Templating
npm install --save plating
Provide any string with all placeholders defined as {{placeholder|default value}}, or simply as {{placeholder}}.
If no value for placeholder is defined, it will fall back to the default value, if provided. If no value is defined and there is no default value, the placeholder will be displayed as entered. In this case, {{placeholder}} would be visible in the rendered version.
const plating = require('plating');
let template = '{{app}} is a simple template system for {{lang|JS}}';
// Get tokens to find out what can be substituted
let tokens = plating.extract(template);
// Render the template, notice the default value used with `lang`
let rendered = plating.render(template, {
app: 'plating'
});In the example above, tokens contains:
[
{
raw: '{{app}}',
key: 'app',
defaultValue: undefined
},
{
raw: '{{lang|JS}}',
key: 'lang',
defaultValue: 'JS'
}
]And rendered is:
