Remove accents/diacritics in a string in JavaScript

Solution 1:

With ES2015/ES6 String.prototype.normalize(),

const str = "Crème Brulée"
str.normalize("NFD").replace(/[\u0300-\u036f]/g, "")
> "Creme Brulee"

Two things are happening here:

normalize()ing to NFD Unicode normal form decomposes combined graphemes into the combination of simple ones. The è of Crème ends up expressed as e + ̀.
Using a regex character class to match the U+0300 → U+036F range, it is now trivial to globally get rid of the diacritics, which the Unicode standard conveniently groups as the Combining Diacritical Marks Unicode block.

As of 2021, one can also use Unicode property escapes:

str.normalize("NFD").replace(/\p{Diacritic}/gu, "")

See comment for performance testing.

Alternatively, if you just want sorting

Intl.Collator has sufficient support ~95% right now, a polyfill is also available here but I haven't tested it.

const c = new Intl.Collator();
["creme brulee", "crème brulée", "crame brulai", "crome brouillé",
"creme brulay", "creme brulfé", "creme bruléa"].sort(c.compare)
["crame brulai", "creme brulay", "creme bruléa", "creme brulee",
"crème brulée", "creme brulfé", "crome brouillé"]


["creme brulee", "crème brulée", "crame brulai", "crome brouillé"].sort((a,b) => a>b)
["crame brulai", "creme brulee", "crome brouillé", "crème brulée"]

Solution 2:

I slightly modified khel version for one reason: Every regexp parse/replace will cost O(n) operations, where n is number of characters in target text. But, regexp is not exactly what we need. So:

Solution 5:

You can use the _.deburr() method from the Lodash library.

It's available as a stand-alone NPM package lodash.deburr, or as part of the lodash package.

const myStringWithAccent = 'Mon café est plein de caféïne';
const myStringWithoutAccent = _.deburr( myStringWithAccent, );

The result will be : "Mon cafe est plein de cafeine"
