chindent : change indent

Examples

heredoc

Use heredoc for string literals. Heredoc removes indentation, similar to block strings like in YAML.

const { heredoc } = require('chindent');

var yml = heredoc`
  properties:
    name: 'Phone Dog',
    catchphrase: 'Hello! Yes; this is dog.',
`;

produces:

"properties:\n  name: 'Phone Dog',\n  catchphrase: 'Hello! Yes; this is dog.',\n"

dedent

Use dedent for string variables. This dedent is idempotent, and preserves leading and trailing whitespace.

dedent('  foo\n    bar'); // 'foo\n  bar'
dedent('foo\n  bar'); // 'foo\n  bar' (no change)

ipdent (in-place indent)

Use ipdent to specify the minimum indentation, without modifying the first string. The indentation is specified as a string of whitspace or a number indicating how many spaces of indentation are needed.

var myString = `
  if ( ${a} == ${b} ) {
    ${ipdent(contents, '    ')}
  }
`

Setup

Add with npm or yarn

npm install chindent

yarn add chindent

require with or without custom settings

const chindent = require('chindent');

const myChindent = require('chindent')({ tabWidth: 8 });
