What is this?

This package can turn a string with tabs into a string with spaces.

When should I use this?

You can use this package if you want to define how big the tab size is.

Install

This package is ESM only. In Node.js (version 14.14+, 16.0+), install with npm:

npm install detab

In Deno with esm.sh:

import {detab} from 'https://esm.sh/detab@3'

In browsers with esm.sh:

<script type="module">
  import {detab} from 'https://esm.sh/detab@3?bundle'
</script>

Use

import {detab} from 'detab'

console.log(detab('\tfoo\nbar\tbaz'))
console.log(detab('\tfoo\nbar\tbaz', 2))
console.log(detab('\tfoo\nbar\tbaz', 8))

Yields:

    foo
bar baz

detab(value[, size=4])

Types

This package is fully typed with TypeScript. It exports no additional types.
