StrSubstitutor (String Interpolation)

The StrSubstitutor provides extremely powerful and flexible interpolation for advanced use cases. It supports nested variables, recursive lookup and escaping variables.

Consider the following example:

Map map = {
  "animal": "\${critter}",
  "target": "\${pet}",
  "pet": "\${petCharacteristic} dog",
  "petCharacteristic": "lazy",
  "critter": "\${critterSpeed} \${critterColor} \${critterType}",
  "critterSpeed": "quick",
  "critterColor": "brown",
  "critterType": "fox",
};
StrSubstitutor sub = StrSubstitutor.fromMap(map);

print(sub.replace('The \${animal} jumps over the \${target}.'));

The output from the above will be

The quick brown fox jumps over the lazy dog.

Now consider this variable that is also escaped (the default escape character is $).

print(sub.replace('The \$\${\${animal}} jumps over the \${target}.'));

The output from the above will be

The \${quick brown fox} jumps over the lazy dog.

This demonstrates the true power and flexibility of the interpolation provided here. For full details see the User Guide.
