@tryghost/tpl

Tpl

Install

npm install @tryghost/tpl --save

or

pnpm add @tryghost/tpl

Purpose

String templating helper for replacing {token} placeholders with runtime values.

Usage

const tpl = require('@tryghost/tpl');
messages = {
    myError: 'Something terrible happened to {something}'
};

console.error(tpl(messages.myError, {something: 'The thing'}));

• Takes strings like 'Your site is now available on {url}' and interpolates them with passed in data
• Will ignore double or triple braces like {{get}} or {{{content}}}
• Can handle escaped braces e.g. \\{\\{{helpername}\\}\\}
• There's a simple bare minimum escaping needed to make {{{helpername}}} work with interpolation e.g. {\\{{helpername}}}
