ES6 String interpolation

Question

Can you perform replacements on a string put in a variable? This won't work.

var obj = {a:1};
var a = '`${obj.a}`';

console.log(String.raw a);

Sounds a bit like a duplicate of [Defer execution for ES6 Template Literals](http://stackoverflow.com/q/22607806/1048572) — Bergi, Dec 10 '16 at 16:58
Be aware that so far not even Chrome fully implements `String.raw`. http://tddbin.com/#?kata=es6/language/template-strings/raw So what are you using to test it? Node.js? — connexo, Dec 10 '16 at 16:58
@connexo These tests are completely wrong. `String.raw` is not supposed to behave like that. — Oriol, Dec 10 '16 at 20:10

I'm not too sure what you mean. Is the expected output 1?

If so, your string template literal is going to look like

var a = `${obj.a}`

instead of

var a = '`${obj.a}`'
