✅

In the view, you can convert the chartlabels to a JSON blob, for example with:

import json

def some_view(request):
    # ...
    context['chartlabels_json'] = json.dumps(context['chartlabels'])
    # ...
    return render(request, 'some_template.html', context)

In the template, we can then write the blob in an unescaped way:

function convert_strings() {
    return {{ chartlabels_json|safe }};
}

A more convenient way is however probably using the django-jsonify [PyPI] tool, and thus simply pass the charlabel through the jsonify filter.

{{ chart_labels|safe }}

This would do it. No need to use .replace or jsonDump

Use the following, for more details on creating the regex for special characters follows this links javascript regex for special characters:

var str = ''CHENNAI LPG RO''
console.log(str.replace(/\&\#39;/g, "'"));
