Strip-indent is a highly useful npm package that allows you to remove leading whitespace from each line in a string. The line with the smallest number of leading whitespaces, ignoring lines that are totally empty, determines the exact number of spaces to take out. It's especially beneficial when you need to get rid of redundant indentation in your strings.
Utilizing strip-indent in your code is a straightforward task. First, you need to install the npm package by running npm install strip-indent`` in your terminal. Once it's installed, you can import it into your JavaScript file using
import stripIndent from 'strip-indent';```. Now, to strip indentation from a string, call the stripIndent function with the string you want to operate on as the argument. For example:
import stripIndent from 'strip-indent';
const string = '\tunicorn\n\t\tcake'; // this is the original string with indentation
/*
unicorn
cake
*/
stripIndent(string); // the indentation is stripped here
/*
unicorn
cake
*/
In this example, '\tunicorn\n\t\tcake' is the string we initially have. After running the stripIndent function on this string, you're left with a new formatted string where redundant indentation has been stripped out.
