> Temporarily substitute tokens in the given `string` with placeholders, then put them back after transforming the string.
|
|
|
|
Useful for protecting tokens, like templates in HTML, from being mutated when the string is transformed in some way, like from a formatter/beautifier.
|
|
|
|
**Example without `preserve`**
|
|
|
|
Let's say you want to use [js-beautify] on a string of html with Lo-Dash/Underscore templates, such as: `<ul><li><%= name %></li></ul>`:
|
|
|
|
js-beautify will render the template unusable (and apply incorrect formatting because of the unfamiliar syntax from the Lo-Dash template):
|
|
|
|
```html
|
|
<ul>
|
|
<li>
|
|
<%=n ame %>
|
|
</li>
|
|
</ul>
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
**Example with `preserve`**
|
|
|
|
Correct.
|
|
|
|
```html
|
|
<ul>
|
|
<li><%= name %></li>
|
|
</ul>
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
For the record, this is just a random example, I've had very few issues with js-beautify in general. But with or without js-beautify, this kind of token mangling does happen sometimes when you use formatters, beautifiers or similar tools.

## API
|
|
### [.before](index.js#L23)
|
|
|
|
Replace tokens in `str` with a temporary, heuristic placeholder.
|
|
|
|
* `str` **{String}**
|
|

|
|
|
|
```js
|
|
tokens.before('{a\\,b}');
|
|
//=> '{__ID1__}'
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
### [.after](index.js#L44)
|
|
|
|
Replace placeholders in `str` with original tokens.
|
|
|
|
* `str` **{String}**: String with placeholders
|
|
* `returns` **{String}** `str`: String with original tokens.
|
|
|
|
```js
|

tokens.after('{__ID1__}');
