Template String Utilities

deindent

Strips indentation based on the indentation found on the first line. Will leave extra newlines and extra indentation intact. It will however remove leading and trailing line breaks.

import { deindent } from "@gustavnikolaj/string-utils";

console.log(deindent`
  foo bar
  qux baz
`); // => "foo bar\nqux baz"

console.log(deindent`
  foo bar
    qux baz
`); // => "foo bar\n  qux baz"

console.log(deindent`
  foo bar

    qux baz
`); // => "foo bar\n\n  qux baz"

Can also be required directly:

import deindent from "@gustavnikolaj/string-utils/deindent";

collapse

Collapses whitespace in a line wrapped over multiple lines.

import { collapse } from "@gustavnikolaj/string-utils";

console.log(collapse`
  foo bar
  qux baz
`); // => "foo bar qux baz"

console.log(collapse`
  foo bar
    qux baz
`); // => "foo bar qux baz"

console.log(collapse`
  This is a very long string that I rather not have to put in a single line
  because then it would make my code spill over and take more than the 80
  characters per line that I prefer.
`);
// => "This is a very long string that I rather not have to put in a single " +
//    "line because then it would make my code spill over and take more " +
//    "than the 80 characters per line that I prefer."

import collapse from "@gustavnikolaj/string-utils/collapse";
