All regular sprintf operations are supported:

• Padding/Truncation length and content specification
• Dynamic length and precision
• Forced prefix/sign
• Left justification

Furthermore this function supports index based and associative replacement:

Please see the tests for more info.

Please note that mixing regular and index based replacement is possible but NOT recommended as it's messy, mixing regular or index based with associate replacement is NOT possible.

JSON formatting special:

I added JSON formatting for convenience reasons(because I could), in order to use prettyfied json you need to pass the padding specifier eg.

console.log(esprintf('%\'\tj', {
	hello: 'world'
}));

Will result in:

{
	"hello":	"world"
}

It also supports template strings:

esprintf`%.2${42.4242}f`;

Will result in:

42.42
