Replace &#039 with ' in javascript

Question

I have a javascript variable that fills with Laravel translation system:

'are_you_sure' => '¿Remplacer l\'arbre?',

and then in JS:

swal({
          title: "{{ trans('msg.are_you_sure') }}",
          ...

    });

And it appears to me:

¿Remplacer l'arbre?

EDIT:

Sorry for htmlspecialchars, the thing is it doesn't change removing htmlspecialchars, adding it, or adding htmlspecialchars_decode

Answer 1

htmlspecialchars takes a plain text string and turns it into HTML.

i.e. exactly the opposite of what you want it to do

Look at htmlspecialchars_decode instead.

Beware " and new line characters which will break the JS syntax.

Answer 2

htmlspecialchars() is what is causing your ' to turn into the html translation(&#039). Just removing it should do the trick.

Answer 3

I finally found it. I had to replace {{ }} by {!! !!}

Answer 4

I think you can use unescape() Function to convert the code into a string, i left you a web here https://www.w3schools.com/jsref/jsref_unescape.asp

Answer 5

I had the same problem, this worked for me:

use {{ 'key' |trans |e('js') }}
