Handlebars Templates Pack, extend Coda with... - Coda
The Substitue(), RegexReplace(), and Format() formulas are great for simple replacements, and the Compose column makes templated text easy, but for some really

Usage

The primary formula in the Pack is TemplateReplace(), which takes as parameters the template text and the placeholder values.
TemplateReplace("Hello {{name}}, welcome to {{place}}!",
"name", "Alice",
"place", "Earth")
= "Hello Alice, welcome to Earth"
For more complex usage you can pass the replacement values as a string of JSON and use the alternative TemplateReplaceWithJSON() formula.
TemplateReplaceWithJSON("Hello {{person.name}}, welcome to {{planet.title}}!",
'{"person": {"name": "Alice"}, "planet": {"title": "Earth"}}')
= "Hello Alice, welcome to Earth"
There is also a Placeholders() formula which will return a list of placeholders present in a template.
To learn more about the Handlebars templating language, check out this documentation.
