Zappydoo ·

Dead-simple template engine. Nothing special, just straight-up variable replacement, but real fast.

Usage

Zappydoo.compile()

Simply replaces the {{ variables }} with the corresponding key in the object.

const Zappydoo = require('zappydoo')
const compiled = Zappydoo.compile('Hello {{ name }}!', { name: 'Jason' })
// Hello Jason!

A less contrived example would include bringing in the template string from somewhere else, like a markdown file.

const myFile = fs.readFileSync('template.md', 'utf8')
const compiled = Zappydoo.compile(myFile, { name: 'Jason' })

Note: If you aren't reading the template string from a file, you're likely better off using ES6 template literals.

zap.precompile()

Often you'll want to have your template prepared in advance for performance reasons (since one of the most expensive parts of templating is the RegEx searching). zap.precompile() returns a function that you can call at any time with a data object.

const Zappydoo = require('zappydoo')
const zap = new Zappydoo()

const template = zap.precompile('Hello {{ name }}!')

// Then later, or many times:
const compiled = template({ name: 'Jason' })
