Definition

JavaScript string syntax using backticks that supports multi-line strings and embedded expressions with ${}.

بنية سلسلة JavaScript تستخدم backticks تدعم السلاسل متعددة الأسطر والتعبيرات المضمّنة بـ${}.

Why It Matters

Template literals appear everywhere: `/glossary/${slug}`, `GLS-${String(n).padStart(6, '0')}`, and dynamic class names. They're the most readable way to compose strings.

تظهر القوالب النصية في كل مكان: `/glossary/${slug}` و`GLS-${String(n).padStart(6, '0')}` وأسماء الكلاسات الديناميكية. إنها الطريقة الأكثر قابلية للقراءة لتأليف السلاسل.

Full Definition

Template literals use backtick characters (`) instead of quotes. They support: string interpolation with `${expression}`, multi-line strings without \n, and tagged templates (advanced). They're the standard way to build dynamic strings in JavaScript — from API URL construction (`/api/glossary/${slug}`) to i18n message formatting to SQL query building in Supabase.
القوالب النصية تستخدم رموز backtick (`) بدلاً من علامات الاقتباس. تدعم: الاستيفاء بـ`${expression}` والسلاسل متعددة الأسطر دون \n والقوالب الموسومة (متقدم).

Example Usage

“const url = `/api/knowledge-graph/term/${slug}`; const id = `GLS-${String(counter).padStart(6, '0')}`;”

“const url = `/api/knowledge-graph/term/${slug}`; const id = `GLS-${String(counter).padStart(6, '0')}`;”
