remove all html elements in strings in javascript

One way to remove all HTML elements from a string in JavaScript is to replace the HTML tags with an empty string using a regular expression. Here's an example:

index.tsx
const stringWithHtml = "<p>This is some text <a href='#'>with a link</a> and some more text.</p>";
const stringWithoutHtml = stringWithHtml.replace(/<[^>]*>/g, "");
console.log(stringWithoutHtml); // "This is some text with a link and some more text."
252 chars
4 lines

In the above example, the replace method is used on the stringWithHtml string, with the regular expression /<[^>]*>/g as the first argument. This regular expression matches all HTML tags and replaces them with an empty string. The resulting string is stored in the stringWithoutHtml variable and logged to the console.
