Is there any method like substitute of MooTools in jQuery?

Question

This is MooTools code:

var myString = "{subject} is {property_1} and {property_2}.";
var myObject = {subject: 'Jack Bauer', property_1: 'our lord', property_2: 'savior'};
myString.substitute(myObject);

Does jQuery has this method or similar?

Answer 1

No, but there's nothing preventing you from adding it yourself:

jQuery.substitute = function(str, sub) {
    return str.replace(/\{(.+?)\}/g, function($0, $1) {
        return $1 in sub ? sub[$1] : $0;
    });
};

// usage:
jQuery.substitute('{foo}', {foo:'123'});
