html_resolve(file, data, silent?)

Returns a string representing the contents of file file with all the data hooks contained replaced with the corresponding data in data.

Use resolve_absolute when passing in a absolute path and resolve_relative for relative paths.

file is a String representing the file path. Both relative and absolute paths work. Though this is intended to be an html file, this is not restricted so that this can be used with any markup file format.

data is a Object that matches data hook names to data. The value will have toString() called on it.

silent is a Boolean that makes hooks that do not exist in data fail silently and are just removed from the outputted file.

The data hook format is the follow: {hook_name} anyway within the given file will be replace with data_val if the following data object is provided:

{
    "hook_name": "data_val"
}

data may contain more hooks then required but if a hook does not exist in data then a Error: hook not found error will be thrown.

To escape the matching place a \ in front of the {{hook_name}}, like this: \{{hook}. The \ will be removed in the outputted text.
