<script>
  String.prototype.supplant = function(o) {
   return this.replace(/{([^{}]*)}/g, function(a, b) {
    var r = o[b];
    return typeof r === 'string' || typeof r === 'number' ? r : a;
   });
  };
  
  var template = '<tr><td>{title}</td><td>{type}</td><td><a href="tags/{tag}">{tag}</a></td><td>{created_at}</td></tr>';
  
  var data = {
   title: 'title',
   type: 'type',
   tag: 'tag',
   created_at: 'created_at'
  };
