import replacePlaceholders from '@truto/replace-placeholders';

const result = replacePlaceholders('Foo: {{foo}}', { foo: 'bar' });
console.log(result);  // Outputs: 'Foo: bar'

Advanced Usage with Different Data Types

Strings

console.log(replacePlaceholders('{{foo}}', { foo: 'bar' }));  // Outputs: 'bar'
console.log(replacePlaceholders('{{foo-bar.something}}', { 'foo-bar': { something: true } }));  // Outputs: 'true'
console.log(replacePlaceholders('{{foo}} {{bar:bool}}', { foo: 'bar', bar: 'false' }));  // Outputs: 'bar false'

Arrays

console.log(replacePlaceholders(['Foo: {{foo}}'], { foo: 'bar' }));  // Outputs: ['Foo: bar']
console.log(replacePlaceholders(['{{foo}}', '{{bar:num}}'], { foo: 'bar', bar: '1.34' }));  // Outputs: ['bar', 1.34]

Objects

console.log(replacePlaceholders({ foo: '{{foo}}' }, { foo: 'bar' }));  // Outputs: { foo: 'bar' }
console.log(replacePlaceholders({ foo: '{{foo}}', bar: '{{bar:int}}' }, { foo: 'bar', bar: 1 }));  // Outputs: { foo: 'bar', bar: 1 }

Conversion Types

console.log(replacePlaceholders('{{foo:int}}', { foo: '1' }));  // Outputs: 1
console.log(replacePlaceholders('{{foo:num}}', { foo: '1.1' }));  // Outputs: 1.1
console.log(replacePlaceholders('{{foo:bool}}', { foo: 'true' }));  // Outputs: true
console.log(replacePlaceholders('{{foo:json}}', { foo: '{"foo":"bar"}' }));  // Outputs: { foo: 'bar' }
console.log(replacePlaceholders('{{foo:null}}', { foo: 'null' }));  // Outputs: null

Conditional Replacements (Fallback Values)

Using a | (pipe) character, you can provide fallback values right within the placeholder. The function will pick the first non-undefined value for the replacement.

console.log(replacePlaceholders('{{foo|bar}}', { foo: 'foo', bar: 'bar' }));  // Outputs: 'foo'
console.log(replacePlaceholders('{{foo:str|bar:int}}', { bar: 1 }));  // Outputs: 1
console.log(replacePlaceholders('{{foo.bar:str|bar:str}}', { foo: { bar: 'bar' } }));  // Outputs: 'bar'
console.log(replacePlaceholders('{{foo.bar|bar:str}}', { foo: { bar: true } }));  // Outputs: 'true'
