jsTemplate

A very simple templating system for work in the JavaScript environment. The function requires three parameters:

• template (string)
• values (JS object)
• flag determining the strictness of translation (optional, default = false) Returns a translated template (value).

Template language:

Template "language" is very simple and resembles the composition string in PHP, Smarty template engine or any similar system - but without huge Samrty's functionality ;-)

Simple replacement: {$key} tag is replaced by the value of the "key". Example: keyReplace('Lorem {$foo}', {foo: 'Ipsum'}) returns 'Lorem ipsum'.

Conditional replacement: {?key}value{/key} returns "value" if "key" has any non-zero value. Examples: keyReplace('Lorem{?foo} ipsum{/foo}', {foo: true}) returns 'Lorem ipsum'. keyReplace('Lorem{?foo} ipsum{/foo}', {foo: false}) returns 'Lorem'. keyReplace('Lorem{?foo} ipsum{/foo}', {foo: 3.14}) returns 'Lorem ipsum'. keyReplace('Lorem{?foo} ipsum{/foo}', {foo: 0}) returns 'Lorem'.

Conditional replacement with "else" statement: {?key}value1{:key}value2{/key} returns "value1" if "key" has any non-zero value and "value2" otherwise. Examples: keyReplace('Lorem {?foo}ipsum{:foo}dolor{/foo}', {foo: true}) returns 'Lorem ipsum'. keyReplace('Lorem {?foo}ipsum{:foo}dolor{/foo}', {foo: false}) returns 'Lorem dolor'. keyReplace('Lorem {?foo}ipsum{:foo}dolor{/foo}', {foo: 3.14}) returns 'Lorem ipsum'. keyReplace('Lorem {?foo}ipsum{:foo}dolor{/foo}', {foo: 0}) returns 'Lorem dolor'.
