Inject a string with quotes from PHP to javascript

Question

I'm facing a problem when trying to inject a string from PHP (using the Laravel framework) into javascript.

The string is like [{"foo1": bar1}, {"foo2" : bar2}] . When I inject this string to javascript using something like var test = '{{ $var }}' the " are converted to " . The javascript string is used in a function later to parse the JSON. This now fails because of the quote-conversion.

It seems that the string is passed into the browser as it should be. But Chrome converts it.

How can I solve this? I've tried PHP's str_replace() , html_entity_decode() , json_encode() and Javascript's replace() . Both aren't solving the issue.

I think you are using blade template in laravel. Could you please try

{ $var } instead of {{ $var }}
