Examples
In the following example, a data object of key/value pairs is used to produce the string "Paused at: 12 of 14 files (100 Kb of 12000Gb)"
var template = "Paused at: %atFile of %totalFiles files (%atSize of %totalSize)"; var data = { atFile: 12, totalFiles: 14, atSize: "100 Kb", totalSize: "12000 Gb" }; var result = fluid.stringTemplate(template, data);
In the following example, an array of simple values is used to produce the string "Paused at: 12 of 14 files (100 Kb of 12000Gb)"
var template = "Paused at: %0 of %1 files (%2 of %3)"; var atFile = "12"; var totalFiles = "14"; var atSize = "100 Kb"; var totalSize = "12000 Gb"; var data = [atFile, totalFiles, atSize, totalSize]; var result = fluid.stringTemplate(template, data);
In the following example, an array of mixed, complex values is used to produce the string "Paused at: 12 of 14 files (100 Kb of 12000Gb)"
var template = "Paused at: %0 of %1 files (%2 of %3)"; var atFile = "12"; var totalFiles = "14"; var atSize = { // This represents a complex object type that has a toString method. toString: function () { return "100 Kb"; } }; var totalSize = "12000 Gb"; var data = [atFile, totalFiles, atSize, totalSize]; var result = fluid.stringTemplate(template, data);
