By default the template() method expects the following parameters:

For example, the following:

var template = require('template');

template('Name: <%= name %>', {name: 'Jon'});

results in:

template.read

To read a file from the file system before processing, use template.read:

template.read('file.md', data, options);

template.copy

A convenience method for synchronously copying files from A to B.

template.copy(src, dest, data, options);

Pass {process: false} to the options disable template processing.

Options

custom delimiters

All of the options from the delims library may be passed to the options object.

For example, this:

template('Hi, my name is {%= name %}', {name: 'Jon Schlinkert'}, {delims: ['{%', '%}']});

Results in:

Hi, my name is Jon Schlinkert
