What is this?

A workaround for webpack.

When should I use this?

Never use this. Use parse-entities. It uses this.

Install

This package is ESM only. In Node.js (version 14.14+, 16.0+), install with npm:

npm install decode-named-character-reference

In Deno with esm.sh:

import {decodeNamedCharacterReference} from 'https://esm.sh/decode-named-character-reference@1'

In browsers with esm.sh:

<script type="module">
  import {decodeNamedCharacterReference} from 'https://esm.sh/decode-named-character-reference@1?bundle'
</script>

Use

import {decodeNamedCharacterReference} from 'decode-named-character-reference'

decodeNamedCharacterReference('amp') //=> '&'

API

This package exports the identifier decodeNamedCharacterReference. There is no default export.

decodeNamedCharacterReference(value)

Again, use parse-entities.

Types

This package is fully typed with TypeScript. It exports no additional types.

Compatibility

This package is at least compatible with all maintained versions of Node.js. As of now, that is Node.js 14.14+ and 16.0+. It also works in Deno and modern browsers.

Security

This package is safe.
