# Templateless
A lightweight, logicless templating library for the
[Odin programming language](https://odin-lang.org/). 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
```odin
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:
```sh
git clone https://github.com/nviam/odin-templateless.git
````
Or copy `template.odin` into your source tree.
## Interface
```odin
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.
