JavaScript equivalent of Python's format() function?

Question

Python has this beautiful function to turn this:

bar1 = \'foobar\'
bar2 = \'jumped\'
bar3 = \'dog\'

foo = \'The lazy \' + bar3 + \' \' + bar2 \' over the \'         


        

Answer 1

There is a way, but not exactly using format.

var name = "John";
var age = 19;
var message = `My name is ${name} and I am ${age} years old`;
console.log(message);
