Unable to write an apostrophe in Javascript

Question

I am really new to Javascript and this might be a really dumb question but how do you type an apostrophe in between an object?

const data = {

greeting: 'Welcome to John's restaurant'
}

Do I need to write something in front of it? Thank you in advance

You can use '\'. So your string sould be 'Welcome to John\'s restaurant' — Mehmet Ince, Sep 13 '18 at 13:06
[String literals.](https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/JavaScript/Guide/Grammar_and_types#String_literals) If you don't have any other language guide or tutorial available, the MDN site is a pretty good resource. (But you should have a guide or tutorial already.) — Pointy, Sep 13 '18 at 13:07

Use \ before the ':

const data = {
greeting: 'Welcome to John\'s restaurant'
}
