When should I use double or single quotes in JavaScript?

Question

console.log("double"); vs. console.log(\'single\');

I see more and more JavaScript libraries out there using single quotes when ha

Answer 1

If you are using JSHint, it will raise an error if you use a double quoted string.

I used it through the Yeoman scafflholding of AngularJS, but maybe there is somehow a manner to configure this.

By the way, when you handle HTML into JavaScript, it's easier to use single quote:

var foo = '
Cool content
';

And at least JSON is using double quotes to represent strings.

There isn't any trivial way to answer to your question.
