String.prototype.normalizeto return the Unicode normalization form of string. Planned to write a blog post in detail.- Useful for compare and get length of string.
- NFC: use composed form - use the single codepoint form
- NFD: use decomposed form - use multiple codepoint form
const str = 'Köln'; const normalizedStr = str.normalize('NFD').replace(/\p{Diacritic}/gu, ''); console.log(normalizedStr); // koln
