# heredoc multiline strings for javascript [![js-standard-style](https://cdn.rawgit.com/feross/standard/master/badge.svg)](https://github.com/feross/standard) [![Circle CI](https://circleci.com/gh/jden/heredoc.svg?style=svg)](https://circleci.com/gh/jden/heredoc) ## usage this technique takes advantage of `Function.prototype.toString()` ```js var heredoc = require('heredoc') var str = heredoc(function () {/* within this comment block, any text will be treated as pre-formatted multiline text (kinda like html 
)
    */})
    console.log(str)
```

You can also strip leading indentation:

```js
var text = heredoc.strip(function() {/*
      
        
indented strings are fine.

        
the preceding spaces will be shrinked.

      
    */})
```

will result in:

```

  
indented strings are fine.

  
the preceding spaces will be shrinked.

## kudos

thanks to @izs - I first saw this technique when reading through npm source. I find it to be much neater than lots of manual string concatenation.
