TypeScript Dedent


TypeScript package which smartly trims and strips indentation from multi-line strings.

Usage Examples

``js
import dedent from 'dedent';

console.log(dedentA 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.);

console.log(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.
);
`

`txt
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.

`js
console.log(dedent
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.
);
