How to replace all accented characters in a string with JavaScript?
To replace all accented characters in a string with JavaScript, we can use the string replace method with a regex and callback.
For instance, we write
const translate = {
ä: "a",
ö: "o",
ü: "u",
Ä: "A",
Ö: "O",
Ü: "U",
};
const translateRe = /[öäüÖÄÜ]/g;
return s.replace(translateRe, (match) => {
return translate[match];
});
to create the translateRe regex to match all instances of accented characters we want to replace.
Then we call s.replace with translateRe and a callback that returns the replacement character for each matched character.
Conclusion
To replace all accented characters in a string with JavaScript, we can use the string replace method with a regex and callback.
