premake5 variable name for workspace and project

I wanted to make the process of creating premake5 file easier by automating the process of creating a premake5 file. when I tried to put a variable ProjectName = "myProject" into where the name of the workspace was supposed to be workspace ProjectName. it gave me an error. I also put it into the project and the location of the project but that doesn't work either project ProjectName, location ProjectName. I wonder if there is a way I can do this. thank you.
