Is there a sprintf equivalent for node.js

Question

We are looking for output formatting (functionality like sprintf) in node.js, but before I write it myself, I was wondering if there was something like this built-in (I was wasting documents to no avail) or if someone had already written a module.

Thank you very much

Answer 1

Now, util.format() has printf -like support.

Example:

 util.format('hello %s', 'world'); // Returns: 'hello world' 

Answer 2

There are a couple in the npm registry:

• sprintf (deprecated now)
• sprintf-js

Answer 3

Here is the javascript sprintf version:

Answer 4

console.log works fine.

 console.log('%d hours', 4); // 4 hours console.log('The %2$s contains %1$d monkeys', 4, 'tree'); // The tree contains 4 monkeys
