Understanding Template Literals in JavaScript and WSC [TBD]

Introduction

JavaScript is a powerful scripting language used in web development. One of its useful features is Template Literals, which helps make string handling easier and more readable. In this blog, we’ll explore what template literals are and also explain what WSC stands for in the context of web development.

What are Template Literals in JavaScript?

Template literals are a way to work with strings in JavaScript. Introduced in ES6 (ECMAScript 2015), they offer more flexibility compared to traditional string handling using single (') or double (") quotes.

Syntax:

Template literals use backticks () instead of quotes.

let name = "John";
let greeting = `Hello, ${name}!`;
console.log(greeting); // Output: Hello, John!
Enter fullscreen mode Exit fullscreen mode

Features of Template Literals

1. String Interpolation

You can embed variables and expressions directly into strings using ${}.

let a = 10;
let b = 20;
let result = `The sum is ${a + b}`;
console.log(result); // The sum is 30
Enter fullscreen mode Exit fullscreen mode

2. Multiline Strings

No need to use \n for new lines. Just write the text in multiple lines.

let message = `This is line one
This is line two
This is line three`;
console.log(message);
Enter fullscreen mode Exit fullscreen mode

3. Expression Evaluation

You can also embed functions or calculations.

function double(x) {
  return x * 2;
}

let value = 5;
let output = `Double of ${value} is ${double(value)}`;
console.log(output); // Double of 5 is 10
Enter fullscreen mode Exit fullscreen mode

What is WSC? [TBD]

WSC stands for Web Standard Compliance.

Definition:

WSC refers to following the rules and guidelines set by web standards organizations like W3C (World Wide Web Consortium). It ensures that your web code (HTML, CSS, JavaScript) works consistently across different browsers and devices.

Why WSC is Important:

  • Improves cross-browser compatibility
  • Enhances accessibility for all users
  • Makes your code future-proof
  • Helps with SEO and performance

How to Ensure WSC:

  • Validate HTML/CSS using tools like the W3C Validator
  • Avoid using deprecated tags or attributes
  • Use semantic HTML (e.g., <article>, <section>, <nav>)
  • Keep JavaScript clean and modular
