How to use template strings in TypeScript

In TypeScript, template strings, also known as template literals, are a way to work with string interpolation and multiline strings more conveniently. Template strings are enclosed by backticks (`) instead of single or double quotes. Here's how you can use template strings in TypeScript:

  1. Basic String Interpolation:

    You can embed expressions inside template strings using ${}:

    typescript
    let name: string = "John"; let age: number = 25; let message: string = `My name is ${name} and I am ${age} years old.`; console.log(message);

    This will output: My name is John and I am 25 years old.

  2. Multiline Strings:

    Template strings also allow for multiline strings without the need for concatenation or escape characters:

    typescript
    let multilineString: string = ` This is a multiline string. It spans multiple lines. No need for escape characters or concatenation. `; console.log(multilineString);
  3. Tagged Templates:

    You can use tagged templates to process template literals with a function. The tag function receives the template literals and the interpolated values as separate arguments:

    typescript
    function customTag(strings: TemplateStringsArray, ...values: any[]): string { let result: string = ""; for (let i = 0; i < strings.length; i++) { result += strings[i]; if (i < values.length) { result += values[i]; } } return result; } let firstName: string = "John"; let lastName: string = "Doe"; let customMessage: string = customTag`Hello, my name is ${firstName} ${lastName}.`; console.log(customMessage);

    This will output: Hello, my name is John Doe.

These are some basic examples of how to use template strings in TypeScript. They provide a concise and expressive way to work with strings and variable interpolation.
