Pattern

\$\{([^{}]+)\} (flags: g)Raw source: \$\{([^{}]+)\}
How it works
\$ matches the dollar sign. \{ matches the opening brace. ([^{}]+) captures one or more non-brace characters as the inner expression. \} matches the closing brace. The pattern won't handle nested braces (e.g. `${ {a:1}.a }`); for that you need a real parser, but this regex covers the common case.
Examples
Input
`Hello ${name}, you have ${count} items`Matches
${name}${count}
Input
const url = `https://api.com/${endpoint}?key=${apiKey}`Matches
${endpoint}${apiKey}
Input
