This module provides String.format C#-like function extending String object.

Install

To install the module

$ npm install better-strings

How to use

There are two ways of using this module.

Using as string-object method

String.format($0 [, $1, ..., $N])

Only takes strings and numbers as arguments.

//Requiring the module enables the tweak
require('better-strings');
 
var result = 'Hello {0}!'.format('world');
 
console.log(result);
//produces 'Hello world!' output

Using as module method

betterString.format(baseString, $0 [, $1, ..., $N])

Only takes strings as firts argument, strings and numbers for the rest of them.

//Requiring the module enables the string method anyway
var betterString = require('better-strings');
 
var result = betterString.format('Hello {0}!', 'world');
 
console.log(result);
//produces 'Hello world!' output

Test

If you want to run the test, get the repository and run

$ npm install
$ npm test

Why yet another 'string module'?

I have created this module as an exercise to learn about javascript, node, npm, gulp, unit test, and other dev-things involved in current development proccesses.
