Templates, Paths, and Cartesian Products
Raw
Was working on a CLI application at work that required a lot of 'deep' interpolation. Was pretty satisfied with this result.
```javascript
// Use this...
const variables = {
environments: ["production", "development", "testing"],
regions: ["us-east-1", "sa-east-1"],
stages: ["alpha", "beta", "rc", "live"],
appName: "foo",
};
// ... to interpolate this...
const templateName = `config.{{stages}}.LOLZILLA.{{appName}}__{{environments}}--{{regions}}.json`;
// ... to yield this:
const expectedOutput = [
"config.alpha.LOLZILLA.foo__production--us-east-1.json",
"config.alpha.LOLZILLA.foo__development--us-east-1.json",
"config.alpha.LOLZILLA.foo__testing--us-east-1.json",
"config.alpha.LOLZILLA.foo__production--sa-east-1.json",
"config.alpha.LOLZILLA.foo__development--sa-east-1.json",
"config.alpha.LOLZILLA.foo__testing--sa-east-1.json",
"config.beta.LOLZILLA.foo__production--us-east-1.json",
"config.beta.LOLZILLA.foo__development--us-east-1.json",
"config.beta.LOLZILLA.foo__testing--us-east-1.json",
"config.beta.LOLZILLA.foo__production--sa-east-1.json",
"config.beta.LOLZILLA.foo__development--sa-east-1.json",
"config.beta.LOLZILLA.foo__testing--sa-east-1.json",
"config.rc.LOLZILLA.foo__production--us-east-1.json",
"config.rc.LOLZILLA.foo__development--us-east-1.json",
"config.rc.LOLZILLA.foo__testing--us-east-1.json",
"config.rc.LOLZILLA.foo__production--sa-east-1.json",
"config.rc.LOLZILLA.foo__development--sa-east-1.json",
"config.rc.LOLZILLA.foo__testing--sa-east-1.json",
"config.live.LOLZILLA.foo__production--us-east-1.json",
"config.live.LOLZILLA.foo__development--us-east-1.json",
"config.live.LOLZILLA.foo__testing--us-east-1.json",
"config.live.LOLZILLA.foo__production--sa-east-1.json",
"config.live.LOLZILLA.foo__development--sa-east-1.json",
"config.live.LOLZILLA.foo__testing--sa-east-1.json",
];
const createPaths = (variables, templateName) => {
// This is the magic! Everything else is pretty trivial.
const cartesianProduct = (...a) =>
a.reduce((a, b) => a.flatMap((d) => b.map((e) => [d, e].flat())));
const templateVars = [...templateName.matchAll(/\{\{(\w+)\}\}/g)].map(
(m) => m[1]
);
let order = [];
let varData = [];
for (v of templateVars) {
order.push(v);
if (Array.isArray(variables[v])) {
varData.push(variables[v]);
} else if (typeof variables[v] === "string") {
varData.push([variables[v]]);
} else {
throw new Error(
`Invalid type in variables. Must be a string or list of strings.`
);
}
}
if (varData.length === 0) {
return [templateName];
}
return cartesianProduct(...varData)
.map((c) => {
let _ = [];
order.map((o, idx) => {
_.push([o, varData.length === 1 ? c : c[idx]]);
});
return _;
})
.map((c) => {
let _ = templateName;
c.map(([variable, value]) => {
_ = _.replace(`{{${variable}}}`, value);
});
return _;
});
};
(() => {
// Some other cases...s
[
templateName,
`config.{{environments}}-{{regions}}-{{appName}}---{{environments}}.json`,
`config.{{environments}}--{{environments}}.json`,
`config.{{environments}}.json`,
`config.json`,
].map((_) => {
console.log(`Template: ${_}`);
console.log(createPaths(variables, _));
console.log();
});
})();
```
