trim-buffer

Removes whitespace and line-terminator characters from buffer edges

Installation

$ npm i -S trim-buffer
$ yarn add trim-buffer

Usage

import { EOL } from 'os';
import { trimBufferStart, trimBufferEnd, trimBuffer } from 'trim-buffer';

const trimmable = Buffer.from(` trimme${EOL}`); // Buffer(8) [32, 116, 114, 105, 109, 109, 101, 10]
trimBufferStart(trimmable); // Buffer(7) [116, 114, 105, 109, 109, 101, 10]
trimBufferEnd(trimmable); // Buffer(7) [32, 116, 114, 105, 109, 109, 101]
trimBuffer(trimmable); // Buffer(6) [116, 114, 105, 109, 109, 101]

API

Whitespace in this context is all the whitespace characters (space, tab, no-break space, etc.) and all the line terminator characters (LF, CR, etc.).

trimBufferStart(buffer: Buffer): Buffer

The trimBufferStart() method return the buffer stripped of whitespace from its left end. trimBufferStart() do not affect the value of the buffer itself. Exactly what String.prototype.trimStart() does, just for buffers.

trimBufferEnd(buffer: Buffer): Buffer

The trimBufferEnd() method return the buffer stripped of whitespace from its right end. trimBufferEnd() do not affect the value of the buffer itself. Exactly what String.prototype.trimEnd() does, just for buffers.

trimBuffer(buffer: Buffer): Buffer

The trimBuffer() method return the buffer stripped of whitespace both ends. trimBuffer() do not affect the value of the buffer itself. Exactly what String.prototype.trim() does, just for buffers.
