Package Exports

nick

This package does not declare an exports field, so the exports above have been automatically detected and optimized by JSPM instead. If any package subpath is missing, it is recommended to post an issue to the original package (nick) to support the "exports" field. If that is not possible, create a JSPM override to customize the exports field for this package.

API

nick(templateString, [delimiterRegex])

Basic

Anything inside a pair of delimiters will be a simple object access.

var nick = require('nick');

// Create a reusable template function
var resume = nick('My name is { name }, and I am a { job } working at { company }. I have { years } years of experience in the field of { field }.');

var me = resume({
    name: 'Haskell Curry',
    job: 'logician',
    company: 'λ Combinator',
    years: 100,
    field: 'combinatory logic'
});

// My name is Haskell Curry, and I am a logician working at λ Combinator. I have 100 years of experience in the field of combinatory logic.

Custom Delimiters

nick also takes a regular expression as an optional second argument, which defines what delimiter is used for the template.

var thing = nick('I like to do {{{{{adjective}}}}} things.', /[\{\}]{5}/);

var result = thing({ adjective: 'random' });

// I like to do random things.
