TemplateWriter

Take a string with placeholders and replace with values or by an object.

Example

var tw = CreateTemplateWriter();
tw.Add("GroupKey", 1221);
tw.Add("CompanyKey", 101);

var tmp = "{GroupKey}_{CompanyKey}_{missing}";

tw.Transform(tmp); // outputs: 1221_101_{missing}

var o = new
{
  GroupKey = 1221,
  CompanyKey = 100
};

var x = TemplateWriter.Transform(tmp, o);

console.log(x); // outputs: 1221_101_{missing}

Built In variables

var dt = new DateTime(1980, 4, 6, 6, 30, 33);
var tw = new TemplateWriter(dt);

tw.Transform("{Current}"); // 4/6/1980 6:30:33 AM
tw.Transform("{Current_Date}"); // 19800406
tw.Transform("{Current_DateTime}"); // 19800406063033 (note: 24hr format)
tw.Transform("{Current_Time}"); // 063033
