Tabs to Spaces

Convert a string containing tabs to appropriate number of spaces.

Installation

Either through cloning with git or by using npm (the recommended way):

npm install tab-to-space

const tabToSpace = require('tab-to-space')

Use var_dump while development for printing details of variables and functions.

let text = '\t\t[FirstName]\t\t\t\t=> TEST\n' +
      '        [LastName]              => TEST\n'
 
// convert tabs to spaces
tabToSpace(text, 4)

This will return:

'        [FirstName]             => TEST\n' +
'        [LastName]              => TEST\n'
