JavaScript Auto Backticks

Overview

This extension will automatically convert single or double quotes to backticks when needed.

Just start typing a regular string, the extension will transform it into a template literal as soon as it detects placeholders (${}).

⚠️ Breaking Change: Since version 1.2.0, the revertEnabled setting has been renamed to enableRevert. Additionally, its default value has been changed from true to false. Please ensure to update your configuration accordingly.

Features

1. User-friendly: JavaScript Auto Backticks is designed to be user-friendly and requires no configuration for immediate use.

2. TypeScript Handling: This extension is specifically designed to work seamlessly with both JavaScript and TypeScript languages.

3. Smart Quotes Recognition: JavaScript Auto Backticks is smart enough to differentiate escaped quotes within a string. It ensures that only the quotes that should be part of the template literal are converted to backticks, leaving the escaped quotes unchanged.

4. Handling Pasted Text: This extension handles pasted text. If you paste code containing ${, the extension will instantly convert the applicable quotes to backticks as required.
