JavaScript String.raw() is a static method that is used to get the raw string form of template literals. These strings do not process escape characters. The method is similar to ‘r’ prefix in Python
Syntax:
String.raw(str, ...sub) String.raw`templateString`
Parameters: This method takes two parameters
- str: It is the template literal array object
- sub: This value contains the substituted values
- templateString: It is the template literal string
Return Value: Raw string form of the template literal.
Example 1: This example prints a string on the console with and without the raw method.
Javascript
console.log(`DSA\nPython\nJava`); console.log(String.raw`DSA\nPython\nJava`); |
Output: When the raw method is used the escape characters are not processed
DSA Python Java DSA\nPython\nJava
Example 2: This example will use the raw method on Unicode template literals.
Javascript
console.log(`\u2607`); console.log(String.raw`\u2607`); |
Output: The raw method ignores the Unicode declaration and processes the string in its own form
☇ \u2607
