JavaScript Template Literals Not Functioning

When attempting to utilize JavaScript template literals such as some ${string} or "some ${string}", users may encounter problems where the literal variable names are displayed rather than their values. This issue is not limited to specific browser versions or development frameworks like jQuery.

Solution: Using Backticks

To rectify this issue, it is crucial to employ backticks (`) instead of the conventional single or double quotation marks. Backticks, commonly referred to as "grave accents," are situated next to the numeral 1 key on standard QWERTY keyboards.

Example:

// Incorrect approach
console.log('categoryName: ${this.categoryName}\ncategoryElements: ${this.categoryElements} ');

// Correct approach using backticks
console.log(`categoryName: ${this.categoryName}\ncategoryElements: ${this.categoryElements} `);

By using backticks, you can correctly invoke template literals and display the desired variable values.
