string-template-js

Description

String templating utility that creates new string literals based on templates and embedded expressions (or values). A template is given as a string, which similar to the ES6 Literal Templates contains placeholders that will be replaced with actual values or expressions, whereas the actual values or expressions are given as properties of a JS object (a hashmap of key-value pairs). A placeholder is an identifier enclosed within curly braces and preceded by the 'Dollar' sign (${expression}), which is expected to match the reference to the actual value or expression.

Usage

replace (sTemplate, mData)

Parameters:

Name	Type	Description
sTemplate	String	The string template, which, similar to the ES6 literal templates can contain value placeholders enclosed within curly braces and preceded by the 'Dollar' sign (${expression})
mData	Object	The JS object (hashmap) containing the actual values and expressions to replace the template placeholders with.

Returns:

Type: String

Examples

var stringTemplate = require("string-template-js");

// the actual value is a string
stringTemplate.replace("Hello ${value}!", { value: "world" }); // "Hello world!"

// if the actual value is a function, it will be evaluated
stringTemplate.replace("Hello ${value}!", { value: function() { return "world"; } }); // "Hello world!"
