Convert HTML to Plain Text in Swift

by

You can add this extension to convert your html code to a regular string:

edit/update:

Discussion The HTML importer should not be called from a background
thread (that is, the options dictionary includes documentType with a
value of html). It will try to synchronize with the main thread, fail,
and time out. Calling it from the main thread works (but can still
time out if the HTML contains references to external resources, which
should be avoided at all costs). The HTML import mechanism is meant
for implementing something like markdown (that is, text styles,
colors, and so on), not for general HTML import.

Xcode 11.4 • Swift 5.2

extension Data {
    var html2AttributedString: NSAttributedString? {
        do {
            return try NSAttributedString(data: self, options: [.documentType: NSAttributedString.DocumentType.html, .characterEncoding: String.Encoding.utf8.rawValue], documentAttributes: nil)
        } catch {
            print("error:", error)
            return  nil
        }
    }
    var html2String: String { html2AttributedString?.string ?? "" }
}

extension StringProtocol {
    var html2AttributedString: NSAttributedString? {
        Data(utf8).html2AttributedString
    }
    var html2String: String {
        html2AttributedString?.string ?? ""
    }
}

cell.detailTextLabel?.text = item.itemDescription.html2String
