how to use the deburr function from lodash in javascript

The deburr function from Lodash is used to remove accents and diacritics from a string, and replaces them with ASCII characters. This function is commonly used as a part of text preprocessing, to remove potential issues when performing text analysis.

Here is an example of how to use the deburr function in JavaScript:

index.tsx
const _ = require('lodash');

const textWithAccents = "Séñorita, mañana iré a la encimera para cortar el jalapeño.";
const textWithoutAccents = _.deburr(textWithAccents);

console.log(textWithoutAccents);
// Output: "Senorita, manana ire a la encimera para cortar el jalapeno."
278 chars
8 lines

In this example, we first require the Lodash library with const _ = require('lodash'). Next, we create a string containing text with accents in it. We then use the _.deburr() function to remove these accents from the text, storing the result in a new variable. Finally, we use console.log() to output the modified text.

Note that the _.deburr() function is only designed to work with basic Latin letters and some common accent marks. It may not be effective for other writing systems or languages.
