doesn't decode any HTML entities at all

[ghost]

Hi, thanks for sharing this, but I couldn't get it to decode anything at all.

var Entities = require('html-entities').AllHtmlEntities, entities = new Entities(); console.log(entities.decode('Hello+%22I+think%22+%27therefore+I+am%27+%26+this+is+%7C+fun'));

Shows this in the console:
Hello+%22I+think%22+%27therefore+I+am%27+%26+this+is+%7C+fun

Running version: html-entities@1.1.1 node_modules/html-entities

Hello, lope.

Thank you for your feedback.

The function you are requesting is url encoding/decoding, not html entities encoding/decoding.

You do not need any library to solve your problem, use the built-in function: decodeURIComponent.

Example:

console.log(decodeURIComponent('Hello+%22I+think%22+%27therefore+I+am%27+%26+this+is+%7C+fun'));

Thanks for the quick reply mdevils.

Yeah after trying 3 different npm html-entities decoders and none of them worked I started to wonder "maybe it's not you, it's me" lol.
I realized that my form data was URI encoded. I needed to change the enctype of my form.
