js-string-escape 1.0.1

The npm package, js-string-escape, serves as an effective tool for escaping any string to become a valid JavaScript string literal enclosed in either double or single quotes.

To utilize the js-string-escape package in your JavaScript code, you will first need to install it with the npm command npm install js-string-escape. Following its successful installation, you can implement it within your JavaScript files as shown in the examples below.

In your JavaScript code, you can require the package and then use it to escape characters in strings:

var jsStringEscape = require('js-string-escape');

var escapedString = jsStringEscape('Quotes (\", \'), newlines (\n), etc.');
console.log('"' + escapedString + '"');
// This will output: "Quotes (\", \'), newlines (\n), etc."

A unique feature of js-string-escape is that it maintains the integrity of the original string, s, even when evaluated. This implies that the formatted string returned from jsStringEscape, when evaluated, gives the original string. Here is an illustration of this:

var s = 'Original String';
console.log(eval('"' + jsStringEscape(s) + '"') === s);  // This will log: true

Note that the package can safely handle and cast non-string data types to string.
