unescape

Problem

You need to decode HTML entities in a string — the inverse of escape.

Solution

Use unescape(value) to convert HTML entities back to their original characters.

import { unescape } from '@vielzeug/arsenal';

unescape('&lt;b&gt;Hello&lt;/b&gt;'); // '<b>Hello</b>'
unescape('Alice &amp; Bob'); // 'Alice & Bob'
