# Placeholder
A Placeholder Templating Engine without the complexity
You're probably familiar with how `printf!()`, `format!()`, and friends use
`{<named>}` placeholders. This module uses that same style within its templates
to give you that same feel but for use within a complete text templating engine.
# Example 1
```
use placeholder::render;
use std::collections::HashMap;
fn main() {
let template = String::from("<h1>{greet} {name}</h1><p>Do you like {food}?</p>");
let mut values = HashMap::new();
values.insert(String::from("greet"), String::from("Hello"));
values.insert(String::from("name"), String::from("Homer"));
values.insert(String::from("food"), String::from("Donuts"));
assert!(render(&template, &values)
== Ok(String::from("<h1>Hello Homer</h1><p>Do you like Donuts?</p>")));
}
```
# Example 2 (missing placeholder values)
```
use placeholder::render;
use std::collections::HashMap;
fn main() {
let template = String::from("<h1>{greet} {name}</h1>");
let mut values = HashMap::new();
values.insert(String::from("greet"), String::from("Hello"));
assert!(render(&template, &values)
== Err(String::from("name")));
}
```
