Single quote escape utility function

[Stephen Rufle-2]

Is there a utility function that would turn "4'Widgit" into "4\'Widgit"?
I am passing a product name through javascript and the fact that there
is a single quote "'" is causing an error on the page.

I found a solution
productName =
org.apache.commons.lang.StringEscapeUtils.escapeJavaScript(productName)

ftl version
<#assign productNameJsEscaped =
Static["org.apache.commons.lang.StringEscapeUtils"].escapeJavaScript(productName)/>

Hi Stephen,
At the freemarker level there is the simple ${productName?js_string}
instruction.
Freemarker has a lot of these kind of buil-in string utilities :
