How to remove parenthesis from a string in JavaScript?

To remove parenthesis from a string in JavaScript, we can call the JavaScript string’s replace with a regex that matches all parentheses, brackets, and braces and replace them with empty strings.

For instance, we write:

const str = '[]({foobar})'
const newStr = str.replace(/[])}[{(]/g, '');
console.log(newStr)

We call str.replace with /[])}[{(]/g to match all parentheses, brackets, and braces in str and replace them all with empty strings.

Then we assign the returned string to newStr.

As a result, newStr is 'foobar'.
