npm install latinizeSimple library to convert accents (diacritics) from strings to latin characters.
``
npm install latinize
For CommonJS module format use the 1.x version
`

ES module
`javascript`
import latinize from 'latinize';
latinize('ỆᶍǍᶆṔƚÉ áéíóúýčďěňřšťžů'); // => 'ExAmPlE aeiouycdenrstzu'
You can use the latinize.characters object to access the translation table and pass custom mapping as a second argument:
`javascript``
// modify the behavior for German umlauts
const characters = {
...latinize.characters,
'Ä': 'Ae', 'Ö': 'Oe', 'Ü': 'Ue', 'ä': 'ae', 'ö': 'oe', 'ü': 'ue'
};
latinize('ÄÖ', characters) // => "AeOe"
Is is a lookup table taken from http://jsperf.com/latinize packaged for node and browser. Visit the link to see more approaches.
