Intent to ship: ES6 Template Literals

[Erik Arvidsson]

[blink-dev: FYI]

Template Literals are part of ES6. The spec in the Editor's draft is stable [1].

Firefox is shipping template literals since version 34 [2].
IE has template literals in a preview release [3].

Owners: a...@chromium.org, caitpo...@gmail.com

Any caveats?

Does this include the use of tags (i.e. tag`literal`;) ?

Does this include String.raw()?

(IMHO a subset w/o either of those is both useful and noncontroversial, I'm just curious if this Intent includes all the bells and whistles)

Tagged templates and String.raw are both implemented

​A bit off topic, but how is (from MDN) String.raw`bla\n${5+6}` any different from ​simply `bla\n${5+6}`?

(MDN also shows  - console.log(`Fifteen is ${a + b} and not ${2 * a + b}.`); - without any String.raw or anything, so why would one need String.raw?)

Or is the MDN example simply not so great and it is supposed to be String.raw("bla\n${5+6}")?

With String.raw `\n` you get "\\n" versus with `\n` you get "\n".
