Advanced tools
The string-template npm package allows you to easily create and manipulate string templates. It provides a simple way to replace placeholders in a string with actual values, making it useful for generating dynamic content.
Basic Template Replacement
This feature allows you to replace placeholders in a string with corresponding values from an object. In this example, the placeholder {name} is replaced with 'World'.
const template = require('string-template');
const result = template('Hello, {name}!', { name: 'World' });
console.log(result); // Output: Hello, World!
Multiple Placeholders
You can use multiple placeholders in a single string and replace them with values from an object. This example replaces {firstName} and {lastName} with 'John' and 'Doe' respectively.
const template = require('string-template');
const result = template('Hello, {firstName} {lastName}!', { firstName: 'John', lastName: 'Doe' });
console.log(result); // Output: Hello, John Doe!
Nested Object Replacement
The package supports nested object replacement, allowing you to access properties within nested objects. In this example, {user.name} is replaced with 'Alice'.
const template = require('string-template');
const result = template('Hello, {user.name}!', { user: { name: 'Alice' } });
console.log(result); // Output: Hello, Alice!
Mustache is a logic-less template syntax. It is a popular templating engine that allows you to create templates with placeholders and replace them with actual values. Unlike string-template, Mustache supports more complex templating features such as loops and conditionals.
Handlebars is an extension of Mustache and provides a more powerful templating engine. It supports advanced features like helpers and partials, making it more suitable for complex templating needs compared to string-template.
Lodash's template function is part of the Lodash utility library. It provides a way to create compiled template functions that can interpolate data properties in 'interpolate' delimiters. It offers more flexibility and power compared to string-template, especially when used within the broader context of Lodash's utility functions.
A simple string template function based on named or indexed arguments
var format = require("string-template")
var greeting
// Format using an object hash with keys matching [0-9a-zA-Z]+
greeting = format("Hello {name}, you have have {count} unread messages", {
name: "Robert",
count: 12
})
// greeting -> "Hello Robert, you have 12 unread messages"
// Format using a number indexed array
greeting = format("Hello {0}, you have {1} unread messages", ["Robert", 12])
// greeting -> "Hello Robert, you have 12 unread messages"
// Format using optional arguments
greeting = format("Hello {0}, you have {1} unread messages",
"Robert",
12)
// greeting -> "Hello Robert, you have 12 unread messages"
// Escape {} pairs by using double {{}}
var text = format("{{0}}")
// text -> "{0}"
