How to add single quote "'" to javascript string

So many related questions out there, but none satisfyingly answered using javascript (no jQuery).

I wish to add quotes around a variable in a string I'm building. My string itself should contain single quotes within it like so:

'{'a'}'

I can get: '{a}'

When I try to add single quotes around the key a I get:

'{\'a\'}'

I've used both of the following syntax with the same result. Any suggestions??

concat('\'','a','\'')

'\''+'a'+'\''

See line 39 of this code: https://repl.it/@mike_butak/LiveForHisPleasureHeReallyIsThere

Thanks!

Having a hard time replicating your issue! See:

   var temp = '\'{\'a\'}\'';
   console.log('s' + temp + 's');

I'd definitely recommend demonstrating the issue you are asking about in a console print or in a readily available editor online before posting a question!

As per your comment, updating to make it part of a variable assignment. Still unclear what the issue is!

Like this?

console.log("'{'a'}'")

To expand on this, when you are building the string, just use " around the string, and ' within the string.
