I'm not sure what I'm doing incorrectly
var utilities = require("./utilities");
var mailValues = {};
mailValues.first_name = "Janet";
var emailTemplate = "Hi %first_name%! Thanks for completing this code challenge :)";
var mergedContent = utilities.merge(emailTemplate, mailValues);
//mergedContent === "Hi Janet! Thanks for completing this code challenge :)";
function merge(content, values) {
for(var key in values){
content = content.replace("%" + mailValues.first_name + "%", values[key]);
}
return content;
}
module.exports.merge = merge;
