Build a Fruit Search App - Step 17

JavaScript
1

Tell us what’s happening:

The instructions for this step are to call fetch with https://fruit-search.freecodecamp.rocks/api/fruits?q=${query} and store the result in a response variable. I think that I have it right, but it won’t accept it.

Thanks for any help.

const timeoutId = setTimeout(async () => {
      try {
        const response = await fetch('https://fruit-search.freecodecamp.rocks/api/fruits?q=${query}');
      } catch {

      }
    }, 700);

I don’t think ${query} is getting replaced as it should there

what would you need to change to make that happen?

I tried using back ticks inside the fetch call instead of single quotes, and that solved the problem.
