Interpolation

You can use interpolation to perform string interpolation, using $ to identify the variables in the string :

Install

haxelib install interpolation

Using

import interpolation.Template;

var template = new Template("My name is $name.");
var context:Hash<Dynamic> = new Hash();
context.set("name", "cj");

trace(template.substitute(context));
// will trace "My name is cj".

You can also use {} curly braces to enclose a whole expression :

var template = new Template("My name is ${name}.");
var context:Hash<Dynamic> = new Hash();
context.set("name", "cj");

trace(template.substitute(context));
// will trace "My name is cj".

If you want to output a single $, you can use $$ :

var template = new Template("My name is $$name.");
var context:Hash<Dynamic> = new Hash();
context.set("name", "cj");

trace(template.substitute(context));
// will trace "My name is $name".
