trim

text |> text

Removes leading and trailing whitespace and tab characters from a text value.

Example

import { trim } from 'text'

from '  hello world  ' trim
// Returns: "hello world"

from '\t\thello world\t\t' trim
// Returns: "hello world"

from ' \t hello world \t ' trim
// Returns: "hello world"

from '  hello   world  ' trim
// Returns: "hello   world"

from '' trim
// Returns: ""

from '   \t  ' trim
// Returns: ""

from 'hello' trim
// Returns: "hello"

Notes

• Removes all leading and trailing whitespace characters (spaces, tabs, newlines, etc.)
• Preserves internal whitespace within the text
• Works with empty strings and whitespace-only strings
• Returns the original text if no leading or trailing whitespace is found
