Class description
=================

[](#class-description)

Template string with printf-style placeholders.

When using sprintf(), the template parameters are passed as arguments. This class is sort of "delayed sprintf" - instead of variables, parameter names are passed to the constructor. There must be enough parameter names for all placeholders.

Example
=======

[](#example)

```
use AZBosakov\ParamString\Printf;
...
$pf = new Printf('The answer is %d, the question is %s, the answer again is %d', 'ans', 'q', 'ans');
$pf = $pf->withParams(['ans'=>42, 'q'=>'"6 x 9 = ?"']);

"$pf" == "The answer is 42, the question is "6 x 9 = ?", the answer again is 42";

```
