-### unescapeString
+### unescapeHTML
-Unescapes a string from HTML.
+Unescapes escaped HTML characters.
-Use a chain of `String.replace()` calls combined with regular expressions to replace special characters with the proper symbols.
+Use `String.replace()` with a regex that matches the characters that need to be escaped, using a callback function to replace each escaped character instance with its associated unescaped character using a dictionary (object).
```js
-const unescapeString = str =>
- str.replace(/>/g, '>').replace(/</g, '<').replace(/'/g, '\'').replace(/"/g, '"').replace(/&/g, '&');
-```
-
+const escapeHTML = str => str.replace(/[&<>'"]/g, tag => ({
+ '&': '&',
+ '<': '<',
+ '>': '>',
+ ''': '\'',
+ '"': '"'
+ })[tag] || tag);```
```js
-unescapeString('<a href="#">Me & you</a>'); // 'Me & you'
+unescapeHTML('<a href="#">Me & you</a>'); // 'Me & you'
