collapse-white-space
Advanced tools
The collapse-white-space npm package is designed to reduce multiple whitespace characters in a string down to a single space, effectively 'collapsing' them. This can be particularly useful for cleaning up strings in web development contexts, such as user input or text content processing, where consistent whitespace handling is desired.
Collapsing multiple whitespace characters
This feature allows you to take a string with multiple spaces, tabs, or other whitespace characters and reduce them to a single space between words or characters. It's particularly useful for text normalization.
"use strict";\nconst collapse = require('collapse-white-space');\nconst text = 'This is a test string.';\nconsole.log(collapse(text)); // 'This is a test string.'
The trim package offers functionality to remove leading and trailing whitespace from a string. While it doesn't collapse internal whitespace, it's often used in conjunction with other methods to clean up strings. It's more focused compared to collapse-white-space, which handles internal whitespace collapsing.
