Thank you for taking the time to address my query. I believe that what I am looking for is not exactly string interpolation, so I have adjusted the title accordingly. Before dismissing this as a duplicate related to string interpolation in JavaScript, please carefully consider the specifics of my question. While I have explored other questions on interpolation in JavaScript, none of them provide the exact solution I am seeking for my code (I explain the reasons in my question), and I prefer not to rely on plugins.
Hello everyone, let me clarify the purpose behind this code. The main objective is to create Query Binding for Express with MySQL, but I intend to utilize this code for other purposes as well.
I am interested in achieving string interpolation in JavaScript/Typescript that functions similarly to Query Binding in Code Igniter - you can find an example here.
// Code 1
let person = 'ujang'
let age = 23
console.log("Hello, %s. You're age is %d years old.", person, age)
// Hello, ujang. You're age is 23 years old.
// A function similar to this code
// $sql = "insert into tbl_user (name, age, groupname) values (?, ?, ?)";
// $this->db->query($sql,array('codeigniter, 35, 'Group 1'));
In the above code snippet, I utilize console.log as it aligns with my requirements, however, since console.log returns void and does not return any value, it cannot be used in practical scenarios.
// Code 2
const str = 'hello, %s. Do you want %d slices of cake?'
const name = 'ujang'
const quantity = 13
const myFunction = (value, ...optionalParams) => {
// The function I need should resemble Query Binding in Code Igniter
// And accommodate dynamic parameters
// This is just a sample
value = value.replace('%s', optionalParams[0])
value = value.replace('%d', optionalParams[1])
return value
}
myFunction(str, name, quantity)
// hello, ujang. Do you want 13 slices of cake?
In Code 2, I attempted to create a function that operates as desired, albeit only for static parameters.
// Code 3
const names = 'ujang'
const arg1 = 'good'
const argN = 'better'
const dontWantFunction = (value, arg1, argN) => {
return `hello, ${value}, this function may be ${arg1} but there could be a ${argN} alternative.`
}
dontWantFunction(names, arg1, argN)
// hello, ujang, this function may be good but there could be a better alternative.
In Code 3, I crafted a function that does not meet my expectations as it is difficult to manage and contains hardcoded text within.
Could anyone assist with refining the myFunction in Code 2?
Is anyone else working on a similar codebase?
Alternatively, does anyone know of any documentation or articles that might guide me towards a solution?
Your insight and assistance would greatly benefit me. Thank you for your attention.
