interpolate - Simple JavaScript string interpolation

A simple interpolate function for JavaScript. It is just based on simple RegExp and String#replace so mostly useful when you have simple use cases and want something quick and dirty. Don't use it as a template tool unless it really is just something tiny.

usage

var interpolate = require('interpolate');
var result = interpolate('{greeting}! I am {name}.', {
  greeting: 'Hello',
  name: 'Gilles'
});
 
console.log(result); // 'Hello! I am Gilles.'

You can change the delimiter from the simple { } to something else, such as {{ }} or <% %>. Just pass in the new delimiter in the options. N.B. the start and end delimiter need to have the same length.

var interpolate = require('interpolate');
var result = interpolate('<%greeting%>! I am <%name%>.', {
  greeting: 'Hello',
  name: 'Gilles'
}, { delimiter: '<%%>' });
 
console.log(result); // 'Hello! I am Gilles.'

See tests for some more advanced usage, i.e. with arrays, objects, etc.
