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


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:

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

Then it will create a new line symbol to the string, as interpreting it to have a new line. How can one wrap the long template literal to multiple lines without creating the newline?


Solution

  • This is an old one. But it came up. If you leave any spaces in the editor it will put them in there.

    if
      const text = `a very long string that just continues\
      and continues and continues`;
    

    just do the normal + symbol

    if
      const text = `a very long string that just continues` +
      `and continues and continues`;
