Package description
The detab npm package is a utility for converting tabs in a string to spaces. It is particularly useful when dealing with code or text that needs to be formatted with a consistent number of spaces instead of tabs for better readability or to conform to certain coding standards.
Tab to Space Conversion
Converts all tabs in a string to a specified number of spaces. In this example, each tab is replaced with 4 spaces.
const detab = require('detab');
const textWithTabs = 'Hello\tWorld';
const textWithSpaces = detab(textWithTabs, 4);
console.log(textWithSpaces); // Output: 'Hello World'
