I have this JSON object:
"question": "The question, asked by ${users[index]}, was: \n\n${questions[index]}."
in a file called "config.json". In a separate file named "app.js", I have this line of code:
message.channel.send(config.question);
When the code runs, message.channel.send(config.question) outputs:
The question, asked by ${users[index]}, was:
${questions[index]}.
Is there any way to treat ${users[index]} and ${questions[index]} as template literals? Essentially I want the output to be something like this:
The question, asked by Steve, was:
Hello world!.
(assuming users[index] == "Steve" and questions[index] == "Hello World!")
I searched around for answers, but they all came to using additional Javascript or saying it's not possible. Why, then, if it's not possible, would this work?:
message.channel.send("The question, asked by ${users[index]}, was: \n\n${questions[index]}");
outputs:
The question, asked by Steve, was:
Hello world!.
To do string interpolation in JavaScript, you need to use backtick (`) for the string literal.
For example:
`The answer is ${myVar}!`
will interpolate myVar into your string.
