How to add single quote in the variable in Javascript?

Question

I have variable var str as following:

var str = tea;

I would like to make it as below

Answer 1

I think that you want the semicolon outside the string literal:

var quote_str = 'tea';

If you mean that you want apostrophe characters inside the string also, you can use \' to put an apostrophe in a string delimited by apostrophes:

var quote_str = '\'tea\'';

You can also use quotation marks to delimit the string. Then you don't have to escape the apostrophes, but you have to escape the quotation marks:

var quote_str = "'tea'";

If you already have a string, and want to add apostrophes around it, you concatenate strings:

var quote_str =  "'" + str + "'";
