String to Template Literal Converter
This Visual Studio Code extension allows developers to quickly convert standard strings enclosed in single (') or double (") quotes to template literals with backticks (``). This conversion is triggered by a simple keyboard shortcut: Ctrl+Shift+` on Windows/Linux and Cmd+Shift+` on macOS, making it easier to insert variables or expressions into strings.
Features
- Quick Conversion: Convert any string to a template literal with a simple keyboard shortcut.
- Support for Single and Double Quotes: Works with strings enclosed in both single and double quotes.
- Streamlines Development: Speeds up the process of working with dynamic strings in JavaScript and TypeScript.
Usage
- Place your cursor inside a string (or select the entire string) that you want to convert to a template literal.
- Use the keyboard shortcut
Ctrl+Shift+` (or Cmd+Shift+` on macOS).
- The string will automatically be converted to a template literal, with the original quotes replaced by backticks.
Example: Converting "Hello, ${name}!" by triggering the command will change it to `Hello, ${name}!`.
