Multiple Line String in jQuery

As a web developer, I have often come across scenarios where I need to use multiple line strings in jQuery. This can be done in a few different ways:

1. Using Backslash (\) to Escape Line Breaks

This is the most basic way of creating a multiple line string in jQuery. All you need to do is add a backslash (\) at the end of each line:


var myString = "This is the first line \
                 This is the second line \
                 And this is the third line";

2. Using Template Literals

Template literals were introduced in ES6 and offer a cleaner way of writing multiple line strings. To use them, wrap your string in backticks (`) and use ${} to insert variables:


var myString = `This is the first line
                 This is the second line
                 And this is the third line`;

3. Using Array Join Method

This method involves creating an array of strings and then joining them together using the .join() method:


var myArray = [
  "This is the first line",
  "This is the second line",
  "And this is the third line"
];

var myString = myArray.join("\n");

These are some of the ways to create multiple line strings in jQuery. Choose whichever method suits your needs and coding style best!
