trim-lines
Remove initial and final spaces and tabs around line endings in a value.
Contents
What is this?
This package is a tiny utility that removes initial and final spaces and tabs
around line endings in a value, keeping the line endings themselves, while not
removing whitespace at the start or end of the entire string.
It might look trivial, but it’s actually pretty complex to get performant.
When should I use this?
When you need to trim markdown-like whitespace around line endings and don’t
want to run into performance problems.
