Dynamically Populating Label Parameters

Output and update labels using the format() expression function.

You can provide a string with placeholders, which are replaced by the substitution values at runtime.

Add as many parameters as you need. The parameters are numbered and are zero-based. For example, if you have three parameters, they will be named {0}, {1}, and {2}, and they will be substituted in the order they're specified.

Let's look at a custom label, $Label.mySection.myLabel, with a value of Hello {0} and {1}, where $Label is the global value provider that accesses your labels.

This expression dynamically populates the placeholder parameters with the values of the supplied attributes.

{!format($Label.mySection.myLabel, v.attribute1, v.attribute2)}

The label is automatically refreshed if one of the attribute values changes.

Always use the $Label global value provider to reference a label with placeholder parameters. You can't set a string with placeholder parameters as the first argument for format(). For example, this syntax doesn't work:

{!format('Hello {0}', v.name)}

Use this expression instead.

{!format($Label.mySection.salutation, v.name)}

where $Label.mySection.salutation is set to Hello {0}.
