In computer science, this is known as an implementation of quasiquotes.

npm install --save-dev babel-template

Usage

import template from "babel-template";
import generate from "babel-generator";
import * as t from "babel-types";

const buildRequire = template(`
  var IMPORT_NAME = require(SOURCE);
`);

const ast = buildRequire({
  IMPORT_NAME: t.identifier("myModule"),
  SOURCE: t.stringLiteral("my-module")
});

console.log(generate(ast).code);

const myModule = require("my-module");
