te.identifier(name)

Takes name (string) and returns a TE node for it if it could be a reasonable name for a variable. If it doesn't seem a reasonable name then it will instead throw an error, so be warned! This means that it will throw an error if any JS reserved words are used, or if the name is potentially confusing (e.g. async). For a full list of the current reserved words, see src/reservedWords.ts, but not that these words may change in a minor release.

This is not intended to be used with untrusted user data, it's just a convenience method to use for example if you want to map the (string) keys of an object into variable name TE nodes without using te.dangerouslyIncludeRawCode. Normally you'd just use te`myVarNameHere` to define a variable name (as just regular code).
