Unopinionated static template render engine under 650 bytes

Features

Ease of use means more focus on what is important, the creative stuff.
Create one template model, use it everywhere just changing specific data.
Split bigger templates on smaller components and combine them as you wish.
Supports any UTF-8 pattern.
Extreme small code footprint allows usage on any place supporting JavaScript, from Node.js to browser.

Usage example:

// Requires the module manually
var p = require('plocus')

// Reusable template example using "(( property ))" as the chosen pattern for the object
var page = `
<html>
  <head>
    <title>(( name ))</title>
  </head>
  Hello (( name ))! Your alchemy exams are scheduled for (( examDate )).
</html>
`

// Object containing valuable information 
var person = {'name':'Cynthia', 'examDate': '05/27/2015'}

// Renders the page filling all property patterns with their corresponding values
var renderedPage = p.renderTemplate(page, /(( (\w*) ))/, person)
// renderedPage value is
/*
<html>
  <head>
    <title>Cynthia</title>
  </head>
  Hello Cynthia! Your alchemy exams are scheduled for 05/27/2015.
</html>
*/
