SplatES: a string templating utility

A small string templating utility. Use it to replace tags (tokens, e.g. Hello {myToken}) within strings using one or more Objects for replacements (e.g. {myToken: "world!"}).

The utiltity by default exports a function to replace one or more tokens ("Some string {token1}, {token2}") within a string.

The tokens are replaced using one or more objects containing the tokens to replace as keys and the values to replace it/them with ( [imported interpolator]("Some string {token1}, {token2}", {token1: "one"}, token2: "two"}))).

The module exports

• the factory itself interpolateFactory),
• the interpolate function (default),
• the interpolateClear function (which clears empty placeholders) and
• a function to extend String.prototype with symbolic methods.

Repository location

The repository is available at two locations: Github (US) and Codeberg (Europe).

US politics may result in precarious future US/Github policies, which may result in the Github repository ceasing to exist in the future.

The Codeberg repository is therefore authorative.

Check the DEMO @Codeberg, or the DEMO @Github.
