IntelliJ IDEA and backticks (`)

Question

In our environment, we write template Javascript which has areas where server pre-processing inserts values into the code.

An example would look like this:

    var myVarValue = "`serverProcessedVarValue()`";

In the above, the server runs the function demarcated by the backticks and writes the result between the quotes, then ships that javascript off to the browser.

We use IntelliJ IDEA. It (and Webstorm, I'm assuming) highlights these backticks as a coding error. I can't find a setting to change that behavior. Is there one?

Thanks!

Answer 1

Backtick is supported in ES6 for multi-line string and there is a "JavaScript language version" settings in WebStorm. Changing it to ES6, will change that behavior.
