Example 2: Custom Variables

In this example, we will expand on first example, adding a custom variable which is exposed through the templateData argument on the renderTemplate method

For example, if you have an arbitrary plugin method which would output a variable, it would be constructed as follows
import NPTemplating from 'NPTemplating'

export async function templatingHelloWorld(): Promise<void> {
  try {
    const templateData = {
      data: {
        name: 'Mike'
      }
    }
    const result = await NPTemplating.renderTemplate('Template (Variable)', templateData)

    Editor.insertTextAtCursor(result)
  } catch (error) {
    console.log('templatingHelloWorld', error)
  }
}
