How to replace words in a sentence with its values in javascript?

I have the following scenerio , where I have the following string

Edit:  const message = results.doc.data().taskSettings.taskInProgressSettings.pushNotifications.onAssignmentNotifyEmployee.message;

I get the message from db , and the variables are not necessarily taskId , customerName . It can be taskId , customerName , customerId, taskCreaterName , employeeName , employeeId. The message may contain any of the above variables and i need to replace them in run time with its values.

message:`Task ${taskId} assigned by ${taskCreaterName} for customer ${customerName}`

let taskId = T-100;

let taskCreaterName = 'mark';

let customerName = 'henry';

and I want to replace the variables (taskId , taskCreaterName , customername) with its values and the final result should be the following,

newMessage = Task T-100 assigned by mark for customer henry

What would be the best way of achieving this. Thanks

What's the problem you are facing? Just place message line at bottom

when you say let taskId = T-100; do you want the literal string T-100 to be parsed into the string, or you want the expression result T minus 100?

To make this work in generic way you can keep 1 object (like 'withData' I created below, rather than maintaining different variables) to store values to replace and let generic function (replace) take care of all the changes like below

let message = 'Task ${taskId} assigned by ${taskCreaterName} for customer ${customerName}'



let withData = {

  taskId: 'T-100'

  , taskCreaterName: 'mark'

  , customerName: 'henry'

}



function replace(obj, withData) {

  let result = message.slice(0)

  for (let [key, value] of Object.entries(withData)) {

    result = result.replace('${' + key + '}', value)

  }

  

  return result

}



let result = replace(message, withData)



console.log(result)



// In case Object.entries is not supported

function replace(obj, withData) {

  let result = message.slice(0)

  for (let key in withData) {

    let value = withData[key]

    result = result.replace('${' + key + '}', value)

  }

  

  return result

}

You can store values with target names in object and use .replace() to replacing target part of string with values in object. If value with matched name exist in object replace it with value.

var message = 'Task ${taskId} assigned by ${taskCreaterName} for customer ${customerName} and ${newVar}';

var values = {

  taskId: 'T-100',

  taskCreaterName: 'mark',

  customerName: 'henry'

};

var newStr = message.replace(/${(w+)}/g, function(match, cont){

  return typeof values[cont] !== 'undefined' ? values[cont] : match;

})

console.log(newStr);

You don't need to do anything. Js will replace the variables with value at runtime.

This is probably the simplest way to accomplish the thing you're looking for:

let taskId = 'T-100';

let taskCreaterName = 'mark';

let customerName = 'henry';



let newMessage = 'Task ' + taskId + ' assigned by ' + taskCreaterName + ' for customer ' + customerName;

Where newMessage has "Task T-100 assigned by mark for customer henry".

Depending on the value of T in your code, which you did not provide, I will assume it holds a valid Integer number.

let T = parseInt(Math.random() * 1000);



let taskId = T-100;

let taskCreaterName = 'mark';

let customerName = 'henry';



//assuming T-100 is a result of an expression, you would do something like:

console.log(`Task ${taskId} assigned by ${taskCreaterName} for customer ${customerName}`);



//assming T-100 is a litral string, then you don't need to parse it at all

console.log(`Task T-100 assigned by ${taskCreaterName} for customer ${customerName}`);

You could use String#replace with custom callback and eval (name contains only chars [a-zA-z0-9] so it should be safe)

var message = 'Task ${taskId} assigned by ${taskCreaterName} for customer ${customerName}';

let taskId = 'T-100';

let taskCreaterName = 'mark';

let customerName = 'henry';



var newMessage = message.replace(/${([w]+)}/g, function(match, name){

  return eval(name);

})



console.log(newMessage);

You can store values with target names in object and use .replace() to replacing target part of string with values in object. If value with matched name exist in object replace it with value.

var message = 'Task ${taskId} assigned by ${taskCreaterName} for customer ${customerName} and ${newVar}';

var values = {

  taskId: 'T-100',

  taskCreaterName: 'mark',

  customerName: 'henry'

};

var newStr = message.replace(/${(w+)}/g, function(match, cont){

  return typeof values[cont] !== 'undefined' ? values[cont] : match;

})

console.log(newStr);

You can store values with target names in object and use .replace() to replacing target part of string with values in object. If value with matched name exist in object replace it with value.

var message = 'Task ${taskId} assigned by ${taskCreaterName} for customer ${customerName} and ${newVar}';

var values = {

  taskId: 'T-100',

  taskCreaterName: 'mark',

  customerName: 'henry'

};

var newStr = message.replace(/${(w+)}/g, function(match, cont){

  return typeof values[cont] !== 'undefined' ? values[cont] : match;

})

console.log(newStr);

You don't need to do anything. Js will replace the variables with value at runtime.

This is probably the simplest way to accomplish the thing you're looking for:

let taskId = 'T-100';

let taskCreaterName = 'mark';

let customerName = 'henry';



let newMessage = 'Task ' + taskId + ' assigned by ' + taskCreaterName + ' for customer ' + customerName;

Where newMessage has "Task T-100 assigned by mark for customer henry".

Depending on the value of T in your code, which you did not provide, I will assume it holds a valid Integer number.

let T = parseInt(Math.random() * 1000);



let taskId = T-100;

let taskCreaterName = 'mark';

let customerName = 'henry';



//assuming T-100 is a result of an expression, you would do something like:

console.log(`Task ${taskId} assigned by ${taskCreaterName} for customer ${customerName}`);



//assming T-100 is a litral string, then you don't need to parse it at all

console.log(`Task T-100 assigned by ${taskCreaterName} for customer ${customerName}`);

You could use String#replace with custom callback and eval (name contains only chars [a-zA-z0-9] so it should be safe)

var message = 'Task ${taskId} assigned by ${taskCreaterName} for customer ${customerName}';

let taskId = 'T-100';

let taskCreaterName = 'mark';

let customerName = 'henry';



var newMessage = message.replace(/${([w]+)}/g, function(match, name){

  return eval(name);

})



console.log(newMessage);
