Difference (if there is any) between ` and ' in javascript [duplicate]

Question

Recently ran into some JS code that uses ` and '. I can't figure out if there is a different use for each apostrophe. Is there any?

` is not an apostrophe. It is a grave accent mark. – Endermic

See template strings developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/JavaScript/Reference/… – Subequatorial

Yup, template strings, that's it for `. – Disdainful

Answer 1

' or " denotes a string

` denotes a template string. Template strings have some abilities that normal strings do not. Most importantly, you get interpolation:

var value = 123;
console.log('test ${value}') //=> test ${value}
console.log(`test ${value}`) //=> test 123

And multiline strings:

console.log('test
test')
// Syntax error

console.log(`test
test`)
// test
// test

They have some other tricks too, more on template strings here: https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/JavaScript/Reference/template_strings
