what is the meaning of $ in typescript

I am learning Angular 2 with Typescript . I came across an example which has quite confused me . Here it goes

In

component.ts

getValidation(state:any, thingName?: string) {  
  let thing: string = state.path || thingName;   
  let messages : string[] = [];   
  messages.push(`You must enter a **${thing}**`);    
}

What is the significance of using $ and {} in the above example, until now I always used this.thing to use any variable?

What you're referring to our template literals in JavaScript (TypeScript is a typed superset of JavaScript*). It's a way to refer to variable defined outside of everything you have defined within the backticks. So ${variable} is simply the way to reference it is all.
