How do I put variables inside javascript strings?

Question

s = \'hello %s, how are you doing\' % (my_name)

That\'s how you do it in python. How can you do that in javascript/node.js?

Answer 1

With Node.js v4 , you can use ES6's Template strings

var my_name = 'John';
var s = `hello ${my_name}, how are you doing`;
console.log(s); // prints hello John, how are you doing

You need to wrap string within backtick ` instead of '
