Template Literal

Noun · Development

Definitions

  1. A JavaScript string delimited by backticks (`) that supports embedded expressions via ${...} interpolation, multi-line content without escape sequences, and tagged templates where a function processes the literal's parts for custom behavior like SQL parameterization or styled-components CSS.

    In plain English: A special kind of text string in JavaScript that lets you insert variables and span multiple lines easily.

    Example: "Use a template literal instead of string concatenation — `Hello, ${user.name}!` is way more readable than 'Hello, ' + user.name + '!'."
