A lightweight, logicless templating library for the Odin programming language. This library allows you to define templates using placeholder variables within strings and replace them with values from a provided dictionary.

Features

Simple template substitution using {{key}} syntax
Clean and minimal interface
Designed to integrate easily into Odin projects
No errors returns

Limitations

No support for nested templates or conditionals.
Only basic string replacement — not a full-featured template engine.

Usage

import "template"

main :: proc() {
    fmt := "Hello, {{name}}! Welcome to {{place}}."
    values := map[string]string{
        "name":  "Alice",
        "place": "Odinland",
    }
    defer delete(values)

    result := template.template(fmt, values)
    defer delete(result)

    fmt.println(result) // Output: Hello, Alice! Welcome to Odinland.
}

Installation

Clone or copy the template module into your Odin project directory:

git clone https://github.com/nviam/odin-templateless.git

Or copy template.odin into your source tree.

Interface

template :: proc(fmt: string, dict: map[string]string) -> string

Parameters

fmt: A string with placeholders in the form {{key}}.
dict: A map from string to string, where each key corresponds to a placeholder in the format string.

Returns

A new string with all placeholders replaced by their corresponding values from the dictionary. If a key is missing in the dictionary, the placeholder is replaces with an empty string.

Placeholder Format

Use {{key}} to indicate a variable placeholder in the format string. Keys must exactly match the strings in the dictionary.
