Template Strings

Template Strings
let firstName: string = "Anup";
let lastName: string = 'Kumar';

console.log("Hi " + firstName + " " + lastName);

www.luv2code.com © luv2code LLC


Template Strings Concatenation could
become clunky
for long strings
let firstName: string = "Anup";
let lastName: string = 'Kumar';

console.log("Hi " + firstName + " " + lastName);

Template Strings Concatenation could
become clunky
for long strings
let firstName: string = "Anup";
let lastName: string = 'Kumar';

console.log("Hi " + firstName + " " + lastName);

console.log(`Hi ${firstName} ${lastName}`);

Template Strings Concatenation could
become clunky
for long strings
let firstName: string = "Anup";
let lastName: string = 'Kumar';

console.log("Hi " + firstName + " " + lastName);

Use backticks: `
console.log(`Hi ${firstName} ${lastName}`); Reference variables with ${..}
