Unindent

Indent-adjusted multiline string literals for Scala.

Getting Started

Add the following to your build.sbt:

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

Synopsis

Unindent's i"..." string interpolator is like Scala's s"..." interpolator, except it removes the indent applied in the source file. The behaviour is very 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.]

See the tests for more examples.
