Declare a string var with multiple lines in JavaScript/jQuery

Question

How do i declare a variable in jquery with multiple lines like,

original variable:

var h = '<label>Hello World, Welcome to the hotel</label><input type="button" value="Visit Hotel"><input type="button" value="Exit">';

the variable i want to declare:

var h = '<label>Hello World, Welcome to the hotel</label>
              <input type="button" value="Visit Hotel">
              <input type="button" value="Exit">';

Answer 1

You can use \ to indicate that the line has not finished yet.

var h= '<label>Hello World, Welcome to the hotel</label> \
              <input type="button" value="Visit Hotel"> \
              <input type="button" value="Exit">';

Note: When you use \, the whitespace in the following line will also be a part of the string, like this

console.log(h);

Output

<label>Hello World, Welcome to the hotel</label>               <input type="button" value="Visit Hotel">               <input type="button" value="Exit">

The best method is to use the one suggested by Mr.Alien in the comments section, concatenate the strings, like this

var h = '<label>Hello World, Welcome to the hotel</label>' +
              '<input type="button" value="Visit Hotel">' +
              '<input type="button" value="Exit">';

console.log(h);

Output

<label>Hello World, Welcome to the hotel</label><input type="button" value="Visit Hotel"><input type="button" value="Exit">
