### 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>'); // '<a href="#">Me & you</a>'
|
||||
unescapeHTML('<a href="#">Me & you</a>'); // '<a href="#">Me & you</a>'
|
||||
```
