string-template 1.0.0

String-Template is a simple JavaScript utility that aids developers in formatting strings. It operates based on named or indexed arguments, thereby allowing for dynamic insertion of values into a pre-defined string format or template. This flexibility enhances code readability and maintenance.

To use this utility in your JavaScript project, first, install it via npm (Node Package Manager) with the command npm install string-template. The main string-template function can be used in several ways including:

1. Formatting with an object hash:

var format = require("string-template");
var greeting = format("Hello {name}, you have {count} unread messages", {
    name: "Robert",
    count: 12
});
// Output: "Hello Robert, you have 12 unread messages"

2. Formatting with an indexed array or using optional arguments:

var greeting = format("Hello {0}, you have {1} unread messages", ["Robert", 12]);
// Output: "Hello Robert, you have 12 unread messages"

3. If you need performance, it exposes two template compiling options. Here is how to use them:

var compile = require("string-template/compile")
var greetingTemplate = compile("Hello {0}, you have {1} unread messages")
var greeting = greetingTemplate("Robert", 12)
// Output: "Hello Robert, you have 12 unread messages"

Simply replace the keys (like {name} or {0}) with your desired values in the string and you're good to go!

The documentation for the string-template package is implicitly available within the README file on the package's GitHub repository found at github.com/Matt-Esch/string-template. Here, you will find comprehensive examples, usage instruction, and other relevant information about string-template.
