Using ES6

const html2unicode = require("html2unicode");

async function test() {
	const htmlStr = "<b>Hello, <i>world</i></b>!";
	const result = await html2unicode.html2unicode(htmlStr);
	console.log(result);
}

test() // This will display "𝗛𝗲𝗹𝗹𝗼, 𝙬𝙤𝙧𝙡𝙙!";

Using old-style promise chaining

var html2unicode = require("html2unicode");

var htmlStr = "<b>Hello, <i>world</i></b>!";

html2unicode
	.html2unicode(htmlStr)
	.then(function(str) {
		console.log(str);
		// This will display "𝗛𝗲𝗹𝗹𝗼, 𝙬𝙤𝙧𝙡𝙙!";
	});
