# Template::Plugin::JavaScript(3pm)

Encodes text to be safe in JavaScript

## NAME

Template::Plugin::JavaScript - Encodes text to be safe in JavaScript

## SYNOPSIS

```
  [% USE JavaScript %]
  <script type="text/javascript">
  document.write("[% sometext | js %]");
  </script>
```

## DESCRIPTION

Template::Plugin::JavaScript is a TT filter that filters text so it can be safely used in JavaScript quotes.

```
  [% USE JavaScript %]
  document.write("[% FILTER js %]
  Here's some text going on.
  [% END %]");
```

will become:

```
  document.write("\nHere\'s some text going on.\n");
```

## AUTHOR

The original idea comes from Movable Type's `"encode_js"` global filter.
