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'This package provides similar functionality to detab by converting tabs to spaces. It allows specifying the number of spaces to replace each tab with, much like detab.
Expand-tabs is another package that converts tabs to spaces. It offers more customization options compared to detab, such as setting different tab sizes for different lines if needed.
As the name suggests, this package also replaces tabs with spaces. It is a simple utility like detab but may have different API or performance characteristics.
