How to pass multiple argument in js function with single quote

Question

I am trying to pass parameters to function using single quote however it is showing error due to missing quote but I am unable to figure out where it is I am using inside datatable

onclick="assign_id(' + aData['id'] + ',string value' + ')"





expected output:
     onclick="assign_id('dbvalue','string')"

 "fnCreatedRow": function (nRow, aData, iDataIndex)
            {
    var action_link = '<a class="dropdown-item" onclick="assign_id(' + aData['db value here'] + ',' some string here ')">Delivered</a>';
},

Does this answer your question? [Pass a string parameter in an onclick function](https://stackoverflow.com/questions/9643311/pass-a-string-parameter-in-an-onclick-function) — Shahnawaz Hossan, Dec 24 '20 at 14:07
@ShahnawazHossan I am unable to get how to place this, could u write here with above requirement — faraz, Dec 24 '20 at 14:08
Everything within double quotes is just a string. Instead of using `onclick` attribute, i suggest that you use `element.addEventListener('click', ...)` to add the click event listener. — Yousaf, Dec 24 '20 at 14:17
Don't use inline event handlers. It's widely considered insecure, bad coding and causes exactly these problems. The same is true for creating HTML from a string. — connexo, Dec 24 '20 at 14:33
Look at your onclick function. It is currently `assign_id( ' + aData['id'] + ',string value' + ' )`. If you don't see anything wrong, read this again and try matching the quotes. — Jeremy Thille, Dec 24 '20 at 14:36

Maybe this should work?

var action_link = '<a class="dropdown-item" onclick="assign_id(\'' + aData['db value here'] + '\', \'' + 2 + '\')">Delivered</a>';

Or using template strings

onclick=`assign_id('${aData['id']}',2)`;

@ashue it is missinging single quote and showing some error – faraz Dec 24 '20 at 14:12
can you please at least put up some code in the context of a function? so that we can answer better, try the literal type, maybe it can help, avoid the semicolons at end – Sudhanshu Kumar Dec 24 '20 at 14:19
var action_link = 'Delivered'; – Sudhanshu Kumar Dec 24 '20 at 14:24
@ Ashu still getting error unexpected token beacuse values should be get enclosed inside single quote properly – faraz Dec 24 '20 at 14:29
I have updated the answer for one last time, this should be it or it's up to you afterwards :) – Sudhanshu Kumar Dec 24 '20 at 14:30

I don't know what aData['id'] refers to because it's can only be a string. Try this:

onclick="assign_id('aData[`id`],2')"
