## Usage
> For more use-cases see the [tests](./test.js).
You can use any "helpers" lib, for example [utils](https://github.com/jonschlinkert/utils).
```js
var octet = require('octet')
var utils = require('utils')
octet.render('foo <%this.uppercase("bar")%> baz', utils._)
//=> 'foo BAR baz'
```
### [octet](./index#L12)
> Acts like `.render` by default. Renders given `str` with `locals`.
- `str` **{String}** template to populate with `locals`
- `locals` **{Object}** locals object
- `returns` **{String}** rendered string
**Example**
```js
octet('foo <%this.bar%> baz <%this.quux%>', {bar: 'bar', quux: 'QUUX'})
//=> 'foo bar baz QUUX'
```
### [.render](./index#L16)
> Renders given `str` with `locals`.
- `str` **{String}** template to populate with `locals`
- `locals` **{Object}** locals object
- `returns` **{String}** rendered string
**Example**
```js
octet.render('Hello <%this.place%> and <%this.user.name%>!', {
place: 'world',
user: {
name: 'Charlike'
}
})
//=> 'Hello world and Charlike!'
```
### [.compile](./index#L20)
> Compiles given string and returns function which accepts `locals` object.
- `str` **{String}** template to populate
- `returns` **{Function}** which accepts `locals` objects
**Example**
```js
var fn = octet.compile('Hello <%this.place%> and <%this.user.name%>!')
fn({place: 'world', user: {name: 'Charlike'}})
//=> 'Hello world and Charlike!'
```
