Usage

import stripIndent from 'strip-indent';

const string = '\tunicorn\n\t\tcake';

    cake

API

stripIndent(string)

Strip leading whitespace from each line in a string.

The line with the least number of leading whitespace, ignoring empty lines, determines the number to remove.

dedent(string)

Strip leading whitespace from each line in a string and remove surrounding blank lines.

Like stripIndent(), but also removes leading and trailing lines that contain only whitespace. Useful for template literals and multi-line strings where you want clean boundaries.

import {dedent} from 'strip-indent';

dedent(`
    unicorn
        cake
`);
/*
unicorn
    cake
*/
