outerspace

Preserve whitespace surrounding expressions in a template string.

Outerspace helps to preserve outer whitespace when prefixing and suffixing a string by moving any leading/trailing whitespace in the original string to the start/end of the return.

const outerspace = require('outerspace')

outerspace`**${'\n Exclamation! \n\n'}**`
// '\n **Exclamation!** \n\n'

outerspace`**${'\n\n Holy'} ${'Exclamation '}${'Batman! \n'}**`
// '\n\n **Holy Exclamation Batman!** \n'

outerspace.wrap('Holy ', '\n\n Exclamation \n', ' Batman!')
// '\n\n Holy Exclamation Batman! \n'

outerspace.before('\n\n Exclamation Batman! \n', 'Holy ')
// '\n\n Holy Exclamation Batman! \n'

outerspace.after('\n\n Holy Exclamation \n', ' Batman!')
// '\n\n Holy Exclamation Batman! \n'
