deez-literal

deez-literal is a simple utility for working with multi-dimensional template literals.

Simply, now if you have values, you want to map into strings, you can use a template tag.

Examples

const subjects = ['world', 'mom']
// Before 💩
const greetings = subjects.map(subject => `Hello ${subject}!`)

// Now 🔥
const greetings = deez`Hello ${subjects}!`

// Both return
['Hello world!', 'Hello mom!']

Exports

deez

The main template tag. Takes in a template tag, and returns an array of strings composed from the templates, providing a string for EVERY possible combination of expressions made from what is provided.

// simple
const subjects = ['world', 'mom'];
deez`Hello ${subjects}!`; // ['Hello world!', 'Hello mom!']

// complex
const greetingWords = ['Hello', 'Hi'];
deez`${greetingWords} ${subjects}!`;
// ['Hello world!', 'Hello mom!', 'Hi world!', 'Hi mom!']

// can still accept plain values
const user = 'Mom';
deez`${greetingWords} ${user}! Here's a joke: ${jokes}`;
// ['Hello mom! Here's a joke: ...', 'Hi mom! Here's a joke: ...', ...]

When values aren't arrays, they are treated like single value arrays, making using this similarly to a normal template literal very simple!

It may be important to note the order of the results. These are based on looping through the last expressions options first, then the next to last, and so on.

deezIter

Internal iterator used for making the messages. Can be directly used to get the iterator that you can stream through to other things only as needed.

const iter = deezIter`Hello ${subjects}!`;
iter.next(); // 'Hello world!'
iter.next(); // 'Hello mom!'

// or
for (const greeting of deezIter`Hello ${subjects}!`) greeting; // 'Hello world!' | 'Hello mom!'

arrangeDimensions

Signature: (first: Iterable<T>, others: Iterable<T>[]) => Generator<T[]>

Even MORE internal iterator for figuring out all the combinations of the passed in expressions need. Really just exposed because, sure, maybe someone will find it useful;

const iter = arrangeDimensions(['Hello', 'Hi'], [['World', 'Mom']]);
iter.next(); // ['Hello', 'World']
iter.next(); // ['Hello', 'Mom']
iter.next(); // ['Hi', 'World']
iter.next(); // ['Hi', 'Mom']
