how to use the escape function from the lodash library in typescript

To use the escape function from the Lodash library in TypeScript, first, you need to install the Lodash library and type definitions:

index.ts
npm install lodash @types/lodash
33 chars
2 lines

Then, you can import the escape function and use it in your TypeScript code like this:

index.ts
import { escape } from 'lodash';

const htmlString = '<div>Some dangerous HTML string</div>';
const escapedString = escape(htmlString);

console.log(escapedString); // Output: "&lt;div&gt;Some dangerous HTML string&lt;/div&gt;"
228 chars
7 lines

In the example above, we imported the escape function from the Lodash library and used it to escape the htmlString variable, which contains some dangerous HTML code. The resulting escapedString variable contains the escaped version of the HTML code, which is safe to display on a web page without triggering any security vulnerabilities.

Note that since the escape function expects a string argument, you should make sure to pass a string value to it. Also, remember that escaping HTML code is just one of many security measures you should take when handling user input on your web applications.
