encode function encodes 0 to empty string about html-entities HOT 8 CLOSED

@guptadeepanshu21 Try writing

console.log(require('html-entities/package.json').version);

to know what exact version you have installed right now.

from html-entities.

Are you able to import 'encode' directly from 'html-entities'.
I am getting following error :

export 'encode' (imported as 'encode') was not found in 'html-entities'

from html-entities.

Hello @meytin1337, encode accepts one of 3 types: string | undefined | null, not number. Escaping numbers is not needed, none of numbers have any characters to escape.

from html-entities.

Hello @guptadeepanshu21.

What version are you using? Can you also paste your code?

from html-entities.

Hi @mdevils,

Using the latest version only.

Webpack-dev-server is using html-entities as a dependency.
in webpack-dev-server, there is a file called overlay.js in which following piece of code is written:

import { encode } from 'html-entities'

when we build our project we get an error "export 'encode' (imported as 'encode') was not found in 'html-entities'"

When I tried to import it like import { Html4Entities } from 'html-entities' and used Html4Entities.encode, the error didn't occur.

and also I tried to use html-entities in my local JS project.
In VS code, when we try importing encode, intellisense doesn't show it as a suggestion but it shows as 'Html4Entities' .

Can you try to do the same ?

When I tried to import it like import { Html4Entities } from 'html-entities' and used Html4Entities.encode, the error didn't occur.

It means you have an older version of html-entities installed for some reason. Latest webpack-dev-server uses the latest version of html-entities: https://github.com/webpack/webpack-dev-server/blob/master/package.json#L53

from html-entities.

@mdevils Please check this. I installed the latest version just now.

from html-entities.

@mdevils you are correct, somehow webpack-dev-server is not getting the latest version. I will try to debug it.
Anyway, Thank you for helping.
