no-template-curly-in-string
Disallows template literal placeholder syntax in regular strings.
ECMAScript 6 allows programmers to create strings containing variable or expressions using template literals, instead of string concatenation, by writing expressions like ${variable}
between two backtick quotes (`). It can be easy to use the wrong quotes when wanting to use template literals, by writing "${variable}"
, and end up with the literal value "${variable}"
instead of a string containing the value of the injected expressions.
Rule Details
This rule aims to warn when a regular string contains what looks like a template literal placeholder. It will warn when it finds a string containing the template literal placeholder (${something}
) that uses either "
or '
for the quotes.
