How to include Ruby string in JavaScript -

i have ruby code:

<%= "hello #{@namevar}" if condition %>

i can include ruby snippet in js in following way-

<script>     var v1="<%= @user.name  %>" </script>

but can't embed previous code in javascript.

i have tried following:

var v2="<%= \"hello #{@namevar}\" if condition %>";

but didn't work.

thanx.

your attempt correct, don't need escape double quotes inside ruby code though:

var v2="<%= "our funding ask #{@startup.funding_ask_text}." if @startup.try(:funding_ask_text) %>";
