Getting Started

Add the following to your build.sbt:

libraryDependencies += "com.davegurnell" %% "unindent" % "<<VERSION>>"

Synopsis

Unindent provides two new string interpolators for indented strings: i"..." and i1"...":

The i"..." interpolator is like Scala's s"...", except it removes the indent applied in the source file. The behaviour is similar to Coffeescript's multiline string literals:

import unindent._

val example =
  i"""
  This is an indented multi-line string.
  This line ends up unindented.
    This line ends up indented by two spaces.
  It supports interpolation too: ${1 + 1}.
  """

println("[" + example + "]")
// [This is an indented multi-line string.
// This line ends up unindented.
//   This line ends up indented by two spaces.
// It supports interpolation too: 2.]

The i1"..." interpolator (added un Unindent 1.7) is like i"...", except it folds "paragraphs" of text into single lines. The behaviour is similar to YAML's folded multiline strings:

import unindent._

val example =
  i1"""
  This is the first line.
  This line is appended to the first.

  This line follows a line break.
    This line ends up indented by two spaces.
  """

println("[" + example + "]")
// [This is the first line. This line is appended to the first.
// This line follows a line break.   This line ends up indented by two spaces.]
