Javascript heredoc

Question

I need something like heredoc in JavaScript. Do you have any ideas for this? I need cross-browser functionality.

I found this:

heredoc = \'\\


        
      

Answer 1

As others have said, ES6 template strings give you most of what traditional heredocs provide.

If you want to go a step further and use a tagged template string, theredoc is a nice utility function that lets you do this:

if (yourCodeIsIndented) {
  console.log(theredoc`
    Theredoc will strip the
    same amount of indentation
    from each line.

      You can still indent
      further if you want.

    It will also chop off the
    whitespace-only first and
    last lines.
  `)
}
