ECMAscript 6 lets us use string templates to gain a lot more control over strings in JavaScript.
var salutation = "Hello";
var place = "New York";
var greeting =`
${salutation}, I
am IN ${place} CITY
`; console.log(greeting); /** Hello, I
am IN New York CITY */
you can do expressions:
var x = 1;
var y = 2; var sum = `${x} + ${y} = ${ x + y }`;
console.log(sum); // 1 + 2 = 3
basic introduction to tagging these string templates:
var message = `It's ${new Date().getHours()}, I'm studying`;
console.log(message); // It's 13, I'm studying
Now make those string as variable:

<script type="module">
function tag(strings, ...values){
if(values[0] < 20){
values[1] = "awake";
} return `${strings[0]}${values[0]}${strings[1]}${values[1]}`;
} var message = tag `It's ${new Date().getHours()}, I'am ${""}`;
console.log(message);
</script>
</body>
