Install

The latest version is ESM only: Node 12+ is needed to use it and it must be imported instead of required. If your project is not on ESM yet and you want to use require, use an older version of this program, 4.1.0.

npm i string-left-right

Quick Take

import { strict as assert } from "assert";

import {
  left,
  right,
  leftSeq,
  rightSeq,
  chompLeft,
  chompRight,
  leftStopAtNewLines,
  rightStopAtNewLines,
} from "string-left-right";

// get the closest non-whitespace character to the left of "d" (which itself
// is at string index 6)
const str = "abc   def";
//             |   |
//           012345678

assert.equal(
  `next non-whitespace character to the left of ${str[6]} (index 6) is ${
    str[left(str, 6)]
  } (index ${left(str, 6)})`,
  "next non-whitespace character to the left of d (index 6) is c (index 2)"
);
