Django template's multiline string variable

Question

At the begining of launching my app I am getting variables through django templates variables like so:

var my_variable = '{{ variable }}';

But sometimes it takes more than one line and provide a syntax error

var my_variable = "This should be a good variable;
But it isn't";

How to avoid Uncaught SyntaxError: Unexpected token ILLEGAL?

You can try this solution

<script>
    {% autoescape off %}
    var my_variable = "{{ variable|escapejs }}"
    {% endautoescape %}
</script>

escapejs
