How can i ignore accents searching in Angular 2 from array of string

[Belen Martin]

private _filter(value: string): string[] {

const filterValue = value.toLowerCase();

if (this.options !== undefined) {

return this.options.filter (option => option.toLowerCase().includes(filterValue));

}

}

this.option is an array of string like :

options[0]="Pepe Pérez Pérez"

options[1]="Rosa Martínez Sánchez"

And I want to filter like ignoring caps but with ignoring the accent too.

Can anyone help me?

Hi Belen,

Good question! I learned a few things :). For example, what you want to do is called accent folding. 

This will do it:

cont stringFolded = string.normalize('NFD').replace(/[\u0300-\u036f]/g, "");

 the normalize('NFD') will split out the accents in the string. when that is done the regex matches anything that's not a 'char' and removes it.

 hope this helps,

Regards

Sander
