How to avoid getting special character and get single quote instead using cheerio ( node.js )

0

I have the following lines of code to replace a little content my a static html file:

$ = cheerio.load( fs.readFileSync( path_Url ) ); 



$('a').each( ( idx , _e ) => { 



    let guidId = $(_e).attr('href').split('/').pop().split('.')[0],

    keyMessage = guidIdsMaper.get(guidId);

    keyMessage = ( keyMessage !== undefined ) ? keyMessage : ' ( please enter respective keyMessage  ) ';

    $(_e)

        .attr('href' , '#')

        .attr( 'onclick' , `document.location = 'veeva:gotoSlide(${keyMessage}.zip)'` )



});  



let inner_content =  $.html();

fs.writeFileSync( path_Url , inner_content , 'utf8'); 

So initially in my html file my anchor looks like this:

<a href="melt://navigatetoitem/RHEU-1218304-0000_html_0002.html">

    <div id="item91263" class="pageItem" alt="Rectangle">&nbsp;</div>

  </a>

And as you can see , using the below line of code:

$(_e).attr('href' , '#')

     .attr( 'onclick' , `document.location = 'veeva:gotoSlide(${keyMessage}.zip)'` )

But using the replacement code i get a couple of special characters for the single quote ' , so below is the output:

<a href="#" onclick="document.location = &apos;veeva:gotoSlide(RHEU-1218304-0000_html_0002.zip)&apos;">

    <div id="item91263" class="pageItem" alt="Rectangle"> </div>

  </a>

So how do i avoid getting this ' and get ' instead ? would it be necessary to use htmlparser2 or something like that , i have tried it and so far have no luck.

You can hack by replace method:

$ = cheerio.load( fs.readFileSync( path_Url ) ); 



const SPECIAL_CHAR = '_XXX_'; // define you special string



$('a').each( ( idx , _e ) => { 



    let guidId = $(_e).attr('href').split('/').pop().split('.')[0],

    keyMessage = guidIdsMaper.get(guidId);

    keyMessage = ( keyMessage !== undefined ) ? keyMessage : ' ( please enter respective keyMessage  ) ';

    $(_e)

        .attr('href' , '#')

        .attr( 'onclick' , `document.location =${SPECIAL_CHAR}veeva:gotoSlide(${keyMessage}.zip)${SPECIAL_CHAR}` )



});  



let inner_content =  $.html().replace(new RegExp(SPECIAL_CHAR, 'g'), `'`); // hack you charactors

fs.writeFileSync( path_Url , inner_content , 'utf8');

You can hack by replace method:

$ = cheerio.load( fs.readFileSync( path_Url ) ); 



const SPECIAL_CHAR = '_XXX_'; // define you special string



$('a').each( ( idx , _e ) => { 



    let guidId = $(_e).attr('href').split('/').pop().split('.')[0],

    keyMessage = guidIdsMaper.get(guidId);

    keyMessage = ( keyMessage !== undefined ) ? keyMessage : ' ( please enter respective keyMessage  ) ';

    $(_e)

        .attr('href' , '#')

        .attr( 'onclick' , `document.location =${SPECIAL_CHAR}veeva:gotoSlide(${keyMessage}.zip)${SPECIAL_CHAR}` )



});  



let inner_content =  $.html().replace(new RegExp(SPECIAL_CHAR, 'g'), `'`); // hack you charactors

fs.writeFileSync( path_Url , inner_content , 'utf8');
