escape-template-string

Escape a string so that it can be eval-ed in as a template literal. This is useful for projects such as ProtoWorld that generate human-readable JavaScript code.

console.log(escape(`(function() {
  var x = 'test';
  return \`\${x}\\n\${x}\`;
})`));
// This prints the string below, which can be eval-ed in.
// `(function() {
//   var x = 'test';
//   return \`\${x}\\n\${x}\`;
// })`
