html-tagged-literals
Install
npm install html-tagged-literals --saveUsage
ES2015 template strings are nice for generating HTML, but can be annoying because of stuff like this:
const html = { const css = '/path/to/theme.css' const js = '/path/to/app.js' // The code looks readable and nice but now the html will have leading and // trailing newlines and each line will be indented by 4 extra spaces return ` <!DOCTYPE html> <html> <head> <link rel="stylesheet" href=""> </head> <body> <div id="container"> </div> </body> <script src=""></script> </html> `}This module gives you a few tagged template literals for either stripping all newlines and whitespace or just unindenting the string literal:
const html = { const css = '/path/to/theme.css' const js = '/path/to/app.js' // This will now be a single line of html. // Use unindent to preserve the original indentation but to get rid of // leading/trailing newlines and the first 4 spaces before each line. return minify` <!DOCTYPE html> <html> <head> <link rel="stylesheet" href=""> </head> <body> <div id="container"> </div> </body> <script src=""></script> </html> `}API
minify
This will take the template string and remove all newlines followed by any number of spaces.
unindent
This will take the template string and do the following:
- Remove leading/trailing newliens
- Remove empty lines
- Count the number of whitespace before the first non-empty line and remove those from the start of each line
