casex-template v4.0.1

casex-template

Simple, self expressive template engine for scaffolding files based on casex

Introduction

casex-template is a simple template engine that applies the casex pattern to all occurrences in a template.

Often creating templates feels tedious and time consuming, I wanted to create an engine that lets someone pretty much copy an example file, replace a few words and you should be good to go.

Install

npm install --save casex-template

Usage

import {casexTemplate} from 'casex-template';

const text = "const __na_me__ = () => '#TODO: Implement Na Me'";
casexTemplate({text, name: 'cool component'})

How it works

As the name suggests project uses casex, an open source library designed to be an All in one function for transforming word casings.

While casex is design to apply a pattern for a specific string, casex-template focuses on getting a template, finding all occurrences of __name__ and replacing them with the corresponding value.

Here are a few examples of how it works, considering you're using the name John Doe:

• __name__: johndoe
• __naMe__: johnDoe
• __NaMe__: JohnDoe
• __na-me__: john-doe
• __na me__: john doe

Pluralization and singularization

casex-template provides pluralization and singularization out of the box with pluralize.

To use this feature, instead of __name__, use _name_, with one underscore. Here are a few examples of how it works:

• Regulars: user
  • _name_: user
  • _name_s: users
• Irregulars: person
  • _name_: person
  • _name_s: people
• Composed names: user name
  • _na me_: user name
  • _na me_s: user names
• Names in the plural: users
  • _na me_: user
  • _na me_s: users
