Could not insert data into the template literal for SMS distribution

Question

I have a problem with the template literals JS. I get user data and an SMS template from a MySQL table.

// User fields

let name = data.info.name; // Chingis
let start_datetime = data.info.start_datetime; // 05.07.2020 15:20
let end_time = data.info.end_time; // 16:20

// SMS field (text)

// From the database
// Text: Dear ${name}! Your contract visit has been approved for ${start_datetime} - ${end_time}. We are waiting for you!
sms_template = data.sms.text;

My insertion

$('#sms-message').text("`" + sms_template + "`");

The result has not changed: Dear ${name}! Your contract visit has been approved for ${start_datetime} - ${end_time}. We are waiting for you!

You must use eval() function there to convert that string into template.

so change this:

$('#sms-message').text("`" + sms_template + "`");

into this:

$('#sms-message').text(eval("`" + sms_template + "`"));

Just replace this line

$('#sms-message').text("`" + sms_template + "`");

with

$('#sms-message').text(`${sms_template}`);

Inserted, there is no result – Chingis Khuurak Jul 06 '20 at 05:00
Can you share the code where you are saving the text to the database? – Tushar Jul 06 '20 at 05:15
Text from DB, varchar(500), manually added to the field. `Dear ${name}! Your contract visit has been approved for ${start_datetime} - ${end_time}. We are waiting for you!` – Chingis Khuurak Jul 06 '20 at 05:17
If I am getting you correctly, you have added this text manually to the database and then you are trying to print this text out by replacing the variables with the declared above in the question? – Tushar Jul 06 '20 at 05:23
Yes. Then to update the text in the "Sms templates" page. – Chingis Khuurak Jul 06 '20 at 05:26
checkout `eval()` function – Jovylle Jul 06 '20 at 05:32
