Insert JavaScript variable into JSON

Question

I want to insert a js variable into json (to show a message on slack). I have tested this :

 "fields":[  
     {  
        "title": "Reported by:",
        "value": "'+ user + '",
        "short": "false"
     },

but it doesn't work and show me this :

Reported by:

'+ user +'

Thanks you !

It looks to me like you should be doing something like:

"value": "'" + user + "'",

Before user was still part of the string expression.

It doesn't work but thanks for your help. Here is the code is use :

[      {         "pretext": "",       "text": "test",       "color": "#F35A00",       "fields": [            {               "title": "Reported by :",             "value": "'" + user + "'",             "short": "false"          },          {               "title": "Project:",             "value": "No",             "short": "false"          }       ]    } ]

This is called string concatenation:

 {  
    "title": "Reported by:",
    "value": "'" + user + "'",
    "short": "false"
 }

The value will produce a string with the combined values, such as if user were a string value of "Jamen", the concatenated value of value would be "'Jamen'"
