min-indent
Advanced tools
Package description
The min-indent npm package is designed to determine the smallest indentation of non-empty lines in a given string. This is particularly useful in scenarios where consistent text formatting is required, or when preparing text for further processing that is sensitive to leading whitespace.
Detect minimum indentation
This feature allows you to find the smallest number of leading spaces in a multi-line string. It's useful for adjusting the text indentation level or preprocessing before rendering in UI components.
const minIndent = require('min-indent');
const sampleText = ` line one
line two
line three`;
const minimumIndentation = minIndent(sampleText);
console.log(minimumIndentation); // Outputs: 2Similar to min-indent, strip-indent removes the common leading whitespace from each line in a string. The main difference is that strip-indent modifies the string to normalize indentation, whereas min-indent only calculates the minimum indentation without altering the original string.
While min-indent is used to detect indentation, indent-string is used to add or increase indentation to a string. This package can be seen as a complementary tool to min-indent, where one measures and the other modifies indentation.
