heredoc
multiline strings for javascript
usage
this technique takes advantage of Function.prototype.toString()
var heredoc = require('heredoc')
var str = heredoc(function () {/*
within this comment block,
any text
will
be
treated
as
pre-formatted
multiline text
(kinda like html <pre>)
*/})
console.log(str)You can also strip leading indentation:
var text = heredoc.strip(function() {/*
<body>
<p>indented strings are fine.</p>
<p>the preceding spaces will be shrinked.</p>
</body>
*/})will result in:
<body>
<p>indented strings are fine.</p>
<p>the preceding spaces will be shrinked.</p>
</body>

kudos
thanks to @izs - I first saw this technique when reading through npm source. I find it to be much neater than lots of manual string concatenation.
