curio

A small server side string template engine. String replacement engine that allow you to do property name based replacement in string templates from multiple JSON objects at a time.

##Installation

npm install --save curio

##Usage

A simple example:

var curio = require('curio');

var myTemplate = 'hello {userName}';
var user = {userName : 'world'};

var rendered = curio(myTemplate, user);

//now rendered == 'hello world'
console.log(rendered);

You can pass multiple objects to it to use to render the template. This makes it easy to process a template against several objects at a time.

var curio = require('curio');

var myTemplate = '{name.first} {name.last}{test.level1.level2}';
var user = {
    name :
        {first : 'hello', last : 'world'}
    };

var other = {
    test : {
        level1 : {
            level2 : '!'
        }
    }
};

var rendered = curio(myTemplate, user, other);

//now rendered == 'hello world!'
console.log(rendered);

NEW basic string commands can now be applied in the template.
Supported commands are currently UPPER and LOWER

var curio = require('curio');

var myTemplate = 'hello {userName|UPPER}';
var user = {userName : 'world'};

var rendered = curio(myTemplate, user);

//now rendered == 'hello WORLD'
console.log(rendered);

The objects can't have name collisions at the root level because they are merged into a single object.

I built this to do server side replacement on web hooks, but it is generally useful to just process strings.
