Template Literals Tutorial

Template literals provide an easy way to create strings in JavaScript. They are similar to string literals but allow for embedded expressions and multi-line strings. Here's a quick guide to understanding template literals.

Features of Template Literals

Embed Expressions: Template literals can contain expressions that are evaluated at runtime.
Multi-line Strings: They can span multiple lines without using line continuation characters.
Interpolation: You can interpolate expressions directly into the string.

Example

Here's a simple example to demonstrate the use of template literals:

let name = 'John';
let age = 30;

let message = `Hello, ${name}. You are ${age} years old.`;
console.log(message); // Outputs: Hello, John. You are 30 years old.

Syntax

Template literals are enclosed in backticks ( ). Inside the template literal, you can use ${expression} to interpolate the value of an expression.

Use Cases

Embed Expressions: Useful for generating dynamic content.
Multi-line Strings: Ideal for formatting strings that span multiple lines.
