template-static-list

template-static-list is a small template literal function that solves a problem I kept having.

Specifically, I found myself doing something like this every single time I needed to properly handle addresses for example:

let address = [
  r.address,
  r.city,
  r.postalCode,
  r.province,
  r.country
].filter(Boolean).join(', ')

The above monstrosity is to get around the very real situation where not all components of the address are given by the user.

Using template-static-list I could achieve the same result using:

const l = require('template-static-list')
let address = l`${r.address}, ${city}, ${r.postalCode}, ${r.province}, ${r.country}`

The basic idea is that when a value is missing, it'll intelligently suppress the separator before or after it automatically.
