Install

This package is ESM only: Node 12+ is needed to use it and it must be imported instead of required.

npm:

npm install detab

Use

import {detab} from 'detab'

console.log(detab('\tfoo\nbar\tbaz'))
console.log(detab('\tfoo\nbar\tbaz', 2))
console.log(detab('\tfoo\nbar\tbaz', 8))

    foo
bar baz

  foo

bar     baz

API

This package exports the following identifiers: detab. There is no default export.

detab(value[, size=4])

Replace tabs with spaces in value (string), being smart about which column the tab is at and which size (number, default: 4) should be used.
