simple-recursive-string-slot-template-pmb

In your template string, replace all slot (marked by a custom regexp) with string values from your dictionary object, even recursively, but avoiding loops.

API

This module exports one function:

simpleRecursiveTemplate(tpl, rgx, dict)

• tpl is your initial template string.
• rgx is a slot marker regexp. The slot name is what the regexp matches as group 1. If you want to match a different group, assign its number to the .slot property of your regexp. (You cannot use slot 0. Just add parens around your entire regexp.)
  • Usually you want your regexp to have the g flag.
  • The empty string is not a valid slot name.
• dict is an object that maps slot names to string values. The latter may be partial templates, i.e. contain further slot markers.
