how to use the unescape function from lodash in javascript

To use the unescape function from lodash in JavaScript, you can first import it into your project. If you're using a package manager like npm, you can install lodash with the following command:

index.tsx
npm install lodash
19 chars
2 lines

Then, import the unescape function in your code like this:

index.tsx
const { unescape } = require('lodash');
40 chars
2 lines

Alternatively, you can import the function directly with:

index.tsx
const unescape = require('lodash/unescape');
45 chars
2 lines

Once you have the function imported, you can use it to unescape HTML special characters in a string:

index.tsx
const myString = 'I love <code>';
const unescapedString = unescape(myString);

console.log(unescapedString); // Outputs: "I love <code>"
143 chars
5 lines

The unescape function replaces special HTML entities like &amp;, &lt;, &gt;, etc. with their corresponding characters. This can be useful if you want to display HTML markup in plain text, or if you need to extract text from an HTML document.
