how to use the template function from lodash in javascript

To use the template function from lodash in JavaScript, first you need to install lodash.

You can do this using npm:

index.tsx
npm install lodash
19 chars
2 lines

Once you have installed lodash, you can import it into your JavaScript file, and start using the template function.

Here is an example of how to use the template function:

index.tsx
const _ = require('lodash');

const templateString = 'Hello <%= name %>!';

const compiled = _.template(templateString);

console.log(compiled({ 'name': 'World' }));
// Output: Hello World!
190 chars
9 lines

In this example, we require lodash and then define a string that includes a template tag (<%= name %>). We then compile the template string using the template function from lodash.

Finally, we call the compiled function with an object that includes a property name. The compiled function will then substitute the value of name into the template and return the result.

The output of the code above should be: Hello World!

Note that the template function also supports other delimiters for the template tags, which you can specify as the second argument to the function. For example:

index.tsx
const _ = require('lodash');

const templateString = 'Hello {{ name }}!';

const compiled = _.template(templateString, { interpolate: /{{([\s\S]+?)}}/g });

console.log(compiled({ 'name': 'World' }));
// Output: Hello World!
225 chars
9 lines

In this example, we specify that the template tags should use double curly braces ({{ ... }}) as the delimiter instead of <%= ... %>. We also specify the corresponding regular expression to use for parsing the template tags.

The output of the code above should be the same as before: Hello World!.
