Today I came across JS syntax I see for the first time. In Microsoft MSSQL client for nodeJS there is this example:
const sql = require('mssql')
async () => {
try {
// make sure that any items are correctly URL encoded in the connection string
await sql.connect('mssql://username:password@localhost/database')
const result = await sql.query`select * from mytable where id = ${value}`
console.dir(result)
} catch (err) {
// ... error checks
}
}
What is the meaning of this line:
await sql.query`select * from mytable where id = ${value}`
It looks like query is a method on sql object but how it can be called like this? Is this appended interpolated string passed as argument? What is the name of this JS feature?
