normalizeWhitespace(input, options?): string

• collapse repeated spaces / tabs / newlines,
• trim leading and trailing whitespace,
• optionally preserve line breaks while normalizing spaces on each line.

When NormalizeWhitespaceOptions.preserveLineBreaks is true, Windows-style \r\n sequences are normalized to \n.

Parameters

input

string

The string to normalize.

options?

NormalizeWhitespaceOptions = {}

Optional configuration.

Returns

string

A whitespace-normalized string.

Example

normalizeWhitespace('  hello   world  ');
// 'hello world'

normalizeWhitespace('  a\n   b  ', { preserveLineBreaks: true });
// 'a\nb'
