dedent

npm i dedent

…

A string that gets so long you need to break it over
multiple lines. Luckily dedent is here to keep it
readable without lots of spaces ending up in the string
itself.

Leading and trailing lines will be trimmed, so you can write something like
this and have it work as you expect:

	* how convenient it is
	* that I can use an indented list
		- and still have it do the right thing

That's all.

Wait! I lied. Dedent can also be used as a function.

import dedent from 'dedent';

dedent.withOptions({ /* ... */ })`input`;
dedent.withOptions({ /* ... */ })(`input`);

import dedent from 'dedent';

const dedenter = dedent.withOptions({ /* ... */ });

dedenter`input`;
dedenter(`input`);

import dedent from "dedent";

const list = dedent`
	- apples
	- bananas
	- cherries
`;

const withoutAlign = dedent`
	List without alignValues (default):
		${list}
	Done.
`;

const withAlign = dedent.withOptions({ alignValues: true })`
	List with alignValues: true
		${list}
	Done.
`;

console.log(withoutAlign);
console.log("---");
console.log(withAlign);

List without alignValues (default):
	- apples
- bananas
- cherries
Done.
---
List with alignValues: true
	- apples
	- bananas
	- cherries
Done.
