Strip leading whitespace from each line in a string
npm install strip-indent> Strip leading whitespace from each line in a string

Useful for removing redundant indentation.
``sh`
npm install strip-indent
`js
import stripIndent from 'strip-indent';
const string = '\tunicorn\n\t\tcake';
/*
unicorn
cake
*/
stripIndent(string);
/*
unicorn
cake

Strip leading whitespace from each line in a string.
The line with the least number of leading whitespace, ignoring empty lines, determines the number to remove.
Strip leading whitespace from each line in a string and remove surrounding blank lines.
Like stripIndent(), but also removes leading and trailing lines that contain only whitespace. Useful for template literals and multi-line strings where you want clean boundaries.
`js
import {dedent} from 'strip-indent';
dedent(
unicorn
cake);``
/*
unicorn
cake
