how to use the escape function from lodash in javascript

To use the escape function from lodash, you will first need to install the lodash library. You can do this by running the following command:

index.tsx
npm install lodash
19 chars
2 lines

Once you have installed lodash, you can then import the escape function into your javascript file like so:

index.tsx
import { escape } from 'lodash';
33 chars
2 lines

The escape function can then be used to escape special characters in a string, making it more secure for use in HTML, XML or JSON contexts. Here's an example:

index.tsx
const unsecureString = '<script>alert("Hello World!")</script>';
const secureString = escape(unsecureString);

console.log(secureString); // Output: '&lt;script&gt;alert(&quot;Hello World!&quot;)&lt;/script&gt;';
213 chars
5 lines

In this example, the escape function is used to escape special characters in the unsecureString variable, making it safe to use within an HTML context. The resulting secureString variable can then be used in a more secure manner without the risk of malicious code injection.
