@anikghosh256/compile-template

Minimal templates for Node.js

Installation

npm install @anikghosh256/compile-template

Usage

const compile = require('@anikghosh256/compile-template');

const compiled = compile('filedir/filename.ct', { name: 'John' }); // filepath and variables

Full example

├── root
│   ├── index.js
│   └── template.ct # template file you can use any extension

// index.js
const compile = require('@anikghosh256/compile-template');

const compiled = compile('template.ct', { name: 'John' }); // you can pass file content as third argument 
console.log(compiled); // you can also write to a file or do whatever you want with the compiled template

<!-- template.ct -->
<h1>Hello, ${name}!</h1>
<h2>How are you? ${capitalize(name)}</h2>
<h3>Lowercase: ${lowercase(name)}</h3>

<!-- output -->
<h1>Hello, John!</h1>
<h2>How are you? John</h2>
<h3>Lowercase: john</h3>

Functions

• capitalize(string) - Capitalizes the first letter of a string
• lowercase(string) - Converts a string to lowercase
• uppercase(string) - Converts a string to uppercase
• pluralize(string) - Change the word to its plural
• singularize(string) - Change the word to its singular
• capPluralize(string) - capitalize + pluralize
• capSingularize(string) - capitalize + singularize
• time() - return timestamp

Notes

• You can't provide whitespace in the function name, so capitalize (name) won't work. You can use capitalize(name) instead.
• ${ name} won't work. You can use ${name} instead.
• You can use any extension for the template file, but it's recommended to use .ct for compile-template files.
