What function do I use to replace the depreciated escapeJs()?

Question

I am using Magento2.4. In my phtml template, I am trying to escape an a argument that is being passed into a javascript file via requireJS, but PhpStorm is warning me that escapeJs() is depreciated. What would be the correct function to use if escapeJs() is depreciated?

Answer 1

In the block has $escaper already, you need to use that. Here is the example:

<?php
/**
 * @var \Magento\Framework\Escaper $escaper
 */
?>

Now you can use:

$escaper->escapeJs()
