What is this new syntax gql`string`

问题

const GET_DOGS = gql`
  {
    dogs {
      id
      breed
    }
  }
`;

I found this new syntax from here.

Can you explain this syntax? Where can I find detail about it?

回答1:

It's called a tagged template. Template literals (`...`) can be prefixed with a function name. Upon evaluation, this function will be called and the static and dynamic parts of the template literal are passed to the function. Example:

function foo(staticParts, dynamicParts) {
  console.log(staticParts, dynamicParts);
}

foo`this is a ${42} test`

Tagged templates can be used to create domain specific languages, such as in this example.

There are many questions around tagged templates you can learn more from.

Not only does it allow you to do multi-line formatting like your example above, but it also makes it easier to mix expressions in with string content.

That's GraphQL syntax. A json object is modelled between the backticks and data matching that structure is returned from GraphQL.
