I am using the new template literals (template strings) syntax of JavaScript ES6 Docs Here and I am not quite sure how to escape the dollar sign that is used to break the string to add a parameter.
Here is what I am trying to do:
var response = `I consent to my credit card being charged in the amount of $ ${ total } for the purchase of ${ item.title } and any applicable sales tax.`
that works fine... but I would really prefer to not have that space $ ${title}
that leaves the end result looking like :
... in the amount of $ 25.99 for the purchase...
I would really rather prefer
... in the amount of $25.99 for the purchase ...
I guess that is ok, or obviously I could use the old way that still works, but it would be nice to know how to fix this. I linked to the Mozilla docs , and I can't find anything in there about it, hopefully someone has an idea how to fix this
${} is a placeholder that is used in template literals. You can use any valid JavaScript expression such as variable, arithmetic operation, function call, and others inside ${}. The expression used inside ${} is executed at runtime, and its output is passed as a string to template literals.
The ${} syntax allows us to put an expression in it and it will produce the value, which in our case above is just a variable that holds a string! There is something to note here: if you wanted to add in values, like above, you do not need to use a Template Literal for the name variable.
Template literals are string literals allowing embedded expressions using backtick characters (`). You can use multi-line strings and string interpolation features with them. Formerly known as template strings.
The only case where $
does not produce the literal $
is before a {
, otherwise you do not need to escape it.
var response = `You have $${money}`
does work therefore. In case you need to escape anything, the backslash \
is the escape character in template strings as well, so (while unnecessary) the following works as well:
var response = `You have \$${money}`
