You want templates, which is something provided by many libraries (Handlebars, etc.). The language provides template strings as a syntactic feature. Templates and template strings are very different. Don’t be fooled by the name into thinking that templates are some sort of natural feature addition to template strings; they’re in fact a different concept altogether.

Can this be considered for a feature request? Provision in the language to dynamically construct template strings and interpolate them.

I think you would need to evaluate the template string inline in order to interpolate its result ... OR you just go for this method which also works down to ES3 engine: https://gist.github.com/WebReflection/8f227532143e63649804 Regards On Tue, Dec 16, 2014 at 10:01 AM, Niloy Mondal <niloy.mondal84 at gmail.com<mailto:niloy.mondal84 at gmail.com>> wrote: Thanks, this would work. How can I construct a template string dynamically? Like reading the template from a file/database and then interpolate it.

How can I do it? Just enclose it in a function: ```javascript function foo(a) { return `some template ${a}` } foo("bar") // will evaluate `some template ${"bar"}` ``` —Claude _______________________________________________ es-discuss mailing list es-discuss at mozilla.org<mailto:es-discuss at mozilla.org> https://mail.mozilla.org/listinfo/es-discuss -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...
