alterTemplate - PeterNaydenov/code-assembly-line GitHub Wiki

Change placeholder names for template during execution of "run" method. Use it instead reshape much larger existing data-structure.

Fields

    { 
         do   : 'alterTemplate'
       , tpl  : tplName
       , data : changes 
    }

Types

• tpl: string. Template name
• changes: { existingPlaceholder : newPlaceholder }
• existingPlaceholder: string. Existing in template placeholder name.
• newPlaceholder: string. Change placeholder name to 'newPlaceholder'.

Example

    { do: 'alterTemplate', data: {text:user} }

If current-data has items like { user: 'Peter' } and template is 'Hello, {{txt}}'. The 'alterTemplate' process-step will change template placeholder from 'txt' to 'user'. Template will become: 'Hello, {{user}}'. The 'alterTemplate' process-step could be much more efficient then 'alter' if data is too big.

NOTE: AlterTemplate will NOT change template. Altering template placeholders has scope current 'run' process.
