Use Javascript as templating language #1

Open

Description

lazy currently uses handlebars as its templating language, as it was easy enough to get started with. However, in the effort to streamline things and remove external dependencies JavaScript – more specifically template string literals – should be used, making it easier for everybody to just create lazy snippets, without needing to learn how string manipulation works in handlebars.

More so, the configuration files .lazy-config.json should also be moved to javascript, again to make it simpler to represent conditionals and configuration (maybe even allow for templates to be inlined).

Ideally a template is "just" a function that receives options and outputs a string:

const myTemplate = (opts) => `export const ${opts.name.toUpperCase()} = ${opts.value};`;
