``bash npm i string-collapse-leading-whitespace`

`Quick Take`

`js import { strict as assert } from "assert";

import { collWhitespace } from "string-collapse-leading-whitespace";

// if leading/trailing whitespace doesn't contain \n, collapse to a single space assert.equal(collWhitespace(" aaa "), " aaa ");

// otherwise, collapse to a single \n (default setting) assert.equal(collWhitespace(" \n\n aaa \n\n\n "), "\naaa\n");

// does nothing to trimmed strings: assert.equal(collWhitespace("aaa"), "aaa");

// if there are multiple lines string is still processed in trim-fashion - // only beginning and ending whitespace is changed: assert.equal( collWhitespace(" abc \n def \n ghi "), " abc \n def \n ghi ", );``
