A simple interpolate function
npm install interpolateinterpolate - Simple JavaScript string interpolation
====================================================
A simple interpolate function for JavaScript. It is just based on simple RegExp
and String#replace so mostly useful when you have simple use cases and want
something quick and dirty. Don't use it as a template tool unless it really is
just something tiny.
usage
-----
``javascript
var interpolate = require('interpolate');
var result = interpolate('{greeting}! I am {name}.', {
greeting: 'Hello',
name: 'Gilles'
});
console.log(result); // 'Hello! I am Gilles.'
`
You can change the delimiter from the simple { } to something else, such as {{ }} or <% %>.
Just pass in the new delimiter in the options.
**N.B. the start and end delimiter need to have the same
length.**
`javascript
var interpolate = require('interpolate');
var result = interpolate('<%greeting%>! I am <%name%>.', {
greeting: 'Hello',
name: 'Gilles'
}, { delimiter: '<%%>' });
console.log(result); // 'Hello! I am Gilles.'
`
See tests for some more advanced usage, i.e. with arrays, objects, etc.
