basics

Use backticks ` for template strings (not quotes `'` or `"`)

WHEN you write a string in backticks THEN it behaves just like a normal string

var str = ``; assert.equal(str, 'like a string');

WHEN using ${x} inside a template string THEN the value of x is written out instead

var x = 42; var evaluated = `x=#x`; assert.equal(evaluated, 'x=' + x);

WHEN using multiple variables THEN they get evaluated too

var x = 42; var y = 23; var evaluated = '${ x } + $ { y }'; assert.equal(evaluated, x + '+' + y);

WHEN wrapping an expression in ${...} THEN they get evaluated

var x = 42; var y = 23; var evaluated = `${ x } + ${ y }`; assert.equal(evaluated, x+y);

WHEN a function call is inside ${...} THEN the result is rendered

function getEnv(){ return 'ECMAScript'; } var evaluated = `${ getEnv }`; assert.equal(evaluated, 'ECMAScript');
