Summary: in this tutorial, you’ll learn about the TypeScript string data type.
Like JavaScript, TypeScript uses double quotes ( " ) or single quotes ( ' ) to surround string
literals:
let firstName: string = 'John';
let title: string = "Web Developer";
TypeScript also supports template strings that use the backtick (`) to surround characters.
The template strings allow you to create multi-line strings and provide string interpolation
features.
The following example shows how to create a multi-line string using the backtick (`):
let description = `This TypeScript string can
span multiple
lines
`;
String interpolations allow you to embed the variables into the string like this:
let firstName: string = `John`;
let title: string = `Web Developer`;
let profile: string = `I'm ${firstName}.
I'm a ${title}`;

Like JavaScript, TypeScript uses double quotes ( " ), single quotes ( ' ), and
backtick (`) to surround string literals.
