Add double quotes to string which is stored in variable

Question

I have variable which i am getting from DB string url, But the url does not have quotes to url i need to add the quotes to it below is my code.

 var audioUrl
 url is having string like http://xxxxx/xxx/xx-xx-123.m4a without double quotes
 audioUrl= (data.url)

 i need convert data.url value to "http://xxxxx/xxx/xx-xx-123.m4a"

       Circle Jplayer
       var audio="http://xxxxx/xxx/xx-xx-123.m4a"
       var myOtherOne = new CirclePlayer("#jquery_jplayer_2",
        {
            m4a: audio,
        }

If I've understood correctly, just concatenate it: `audioUrl = '"' + data.url + '"'` — kosmos, Jun 28 '17 at 06:41
This is normal no to see the quotes. Why do you need quotes ? What is your error ? — Weedoze, Jun 28 '17 at 06:42
my player will play song only with quotes so, i need to add it — kitty sarvaj, Jun 28 '17 at 06:44
@kittysarvaj I think that your problem is somewhere else. You receive a string from your database. This has double quotes because it is a string but you won't see it — Weedoze, Jun 28 '17 at 06:45

Kitty Sarvag, As @Weedoze says, there's something wrong with your player. You have already received the data in string format. — Sagar, Jun 28 '17 at 06:49
How are you inserting the string into your HTML? This sounds like an http://xyproblem.info/ — , Jun 28 '17 at 06:50

If possible, I'd use ES6 syntax for this:

`"${data.url}"`

var audioUrl = "\""+ data.url+  "\"";

Whatever your get audioUrl and you want to wrap it with ", you need to put them and escape inner ones with . Above will result in:

 "http://xxxxx/xxx/xx-xx-123.m4a"

OR if you are using the single quotes then no need to use the escape character.

var audioUrl = '"'+ data.url+  '"';

This is the simplest way

var audioUrl = '"' + (data.url) + '"'

This is a problem that comes up all the time for me and it does get frustrating. A simple solution is to create global variables and use them in your strings as needed like so:

var singleQuote = " ' ";

var doubleQuote = ' " ';

Hope this helps others.
