MarkLogic - Passing variable to XML using Javascript

I am using javascript to read an XML, and create an envelope before storing in database. While creating headers, I need to populate the element "created-by" with the value of current user.

let user = xdmp.getCurrentUser()

I tried something like below, but its not replacing the variable with the value.

let a = xdmp.unquote('<created-by>{user}</created-by>')

How could I pass variable to XML using Javascript?

Solution

  • If you want to use JavaScript template literals, then change the single quote ' to a back-tick `, and put a $ in front of the curly braces marking the variable placeholder:

    let a = xdmp.unquote(`<created-by>${user}</created-by>`)
