## About

## Syntax

## Usage

Call `removeAccents()` by passing the string you wish to remove accents from, and you will get the non-accented string as result.

``` js

const input = 'ÀÁÂÃÄÅ';

const output = removeAccents(input);

console.log(output); // AAAAAA

```

## Methods

The exported function also has helper methods.

#### has

``` js

import removeAccents from 'remove-accents';

console.log(removeAccents.has('ÀÁÂÃÄÅ')); // true

console.log(removeAccents.has('ABC'));    // false

```

#### remove

``` js

import removeAccents from 'remove-accents';
