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

To use the unescape function from the Lodash library in TypeScript, you first need to install the lodash library by running the following command in your terminal:

index.ts
npm install lodash
19 chars
2 lines

After installing lodash, you can use the unescape function in your TypeScript code by importing it from the lodash library like this:

index.ts
import { unescape } from 'lodash';
35 chars
2 lines

Once you have imported the unescape function, you can use it in your code like this:

index.ts
const escapedString = 'This%20is%20an%20escaped%20string';
const unescapedString = unescape(escapedString); // 'This is an escaped string'
139 chars
3 lines

In the code above, we have a string that has been escaped using URL encoding. We pass this escaped string to the unescape function from the Lodash library, which returns the unescaped string. The resulting string can then be used in your code as needed.

Note that the unescape function from the Lodash library is equivalent to the decodeURI function from the JavaScript standard library. However, decodeURI can throw an error if the input string is not a valid URI component, while unescape will simply return the input string unchanged.
