Formats a string, replacing {replacer key} with the value in the replacers at that replacer
key (or multiple replacer values if there are multiple in the string). Will also remove \ before
curly braces if curly braces are escaped with a backslash in order to preserve the curly braces.
E.g. 'Hi, this is {name}! I like \{curly braces\}! would become Hi, this is Jim! I like {curly
braces}!
If the key in unescaped braces is not found, returns the key without the braces. Empty unescaped
curly braces will just return a string without the braces e.g. ('I am {Nemo}', { 'name': 'Jim'})
would return 'I am Nemo'.
Parameters
str: string
String to format
replacers: object|{[key:string|number]:unknown}
Object whose keys are replacer keys and whose values are the values with which
to replace {replacer key}s found in the string to format. Will be coerced to strings using
${replacerValue}
Returns string
Formatted string
Example
formatReplacementString( 'Hi, this is {name}! I like \{curly braces\}! I have a {carColor} car. My favorite food is {food}.', { name:'Bill', carColor:'blue' } );
=>
'Hi, this is Bill! I like {curly braces}! I have a blue car. My favorite food is food.'
