Advanced tools
The `flat-string` function flattens the underlying C structures of a concatenated JavaScript string.
This function simplifies the complex C structures that are part of a combined JavaScript string.
If you're frequently combining strings and then using that combined string somewhere else, you might discover that running your string through flatString
significantly enhances performance.
In simpler terms, flatString
is a function that optimizes the way strings are stored in memory in JavaScript. When you concatenate strings, JavaScript internally creates a complex structure to save memory. However, when you need to use this string, for example, to write it to a file or send it over the network, this complex structure needs to be flattened, which can take time. By using flatString
, you flatten the string right after concatenation, making the subsequent use of the string faster.
yarn add @alwatr/flat-string
import {flatString} from '@alwatr/flat-string';
myStr = flatString(myStr);
