Insert javascript variable inside href attribute

Question

I'm trying to dynamically generate an HTML link and have that link be the href attribute of my anchor tag inside my AngularJS application. I have the code below:

const objectUrl = baseUrl + s3Bucket + '/' + objectKey;
const link = '<a href=`${objectUrl}`> MyLink</a>';

I thought that using JS's string templating would work but this inserts %60$%7BobjectUrl%7D%60 at the end of URL. I've also tried

const link = '<a href={{objectUrl}}> MyLink</a>';

but that gives me the same literal string %60$%7BobjectUrl%7D%60. Is there any way to insert the variable so that the href link becomes baseUrl + s3Bucket + '/' + objectKey?

How do you insert link in your template? Why don't you write the acncor tag in your template and use ng-href="{{objectUrl}}" on it? — mahan

You have the template string the other way around. The ` should go on the outside of your string.

const objectUrl = 'yourURL';
const link = `<a href="${objectUrl}">MyLink</a>`;

console.log(link);

Use template literal like this:

const link = `<a href="${objectUrl}">MyLink</a>`
