Wrap long template literal line to multiline without creating a new line in the string

Question

In es6 template literals, how can one wrap a long template literal to multiline without creating a new line in the string?

For example, if you do this:

Answer 1

If you introduce a line continuation (\) at the point of the newline in the literal, it won't create a newline on output:

const text = `a very long string that just continues\
and continues and continues`;
console.log(text); // a very long string that just continuesand continues and continues

Answer 2

Similar to Doug's answer this is accepted by my TSLint config and remains untouched by my IntelliJ auto-formatter:

const text = `a very long string that just ${
  continues
} and ${continues} and ${continues}`

Answer 3

The solution proposed by @CodingIntrigue is not working for me on node 7. Well, it works if I do not use a line continuation on the first line, it fails otherwise.

This is probably not the best solution, but it works without problems:

(`
    border:1px solid blue;
    border-radius:10px;
    padding: 14px 25px;
    text-decoration:none;
    display: inline-block;
    text-align: center;`).replace(/\n/g,'').trim();
