Contains utility functions for string operations.

Interface Description
EnsureEndsWithParams Parameters for ensureEndsWith.
EnsureStartsWithParams Parameters for ensureStartsWith.
HasSingleOccurrenceParams Parameters for hasSingleOccurrence.
IndentParams Parameters for indent.
InsertAtParams Parameters for insertAt.
ReplaceAllAsyncParams Parameters for replaceAllAsync.
ReplaceAllParams Parameters for replaceAll.
ReplaceArguments Common arguments for the replaceAll/replaceAllAsync functions.
TrimEndParams Parameters for trimEnd.
TrimStartParams Parameters for trimStart.
UnindentParams Parameters for unindent.
Function Description
ensureEndsWith Ensures that a string ends with the specified suffix, adding it if necessary.
ensureLfEndings Ensures that a string has LF line endings. It replaces CRLF line endings with LF.
ensureStartsWith Ensures that a string starts with the specified prefix, adding it if necessary.
escape Escapes special characters in a string.
getLfNormalizedOffsetToOriginalOffsetMapper Returns a function that maps LF-normalized offsets to original offsets.
hasSingleOccurrence Checks if a string has a single occurrence of a search value.
indent Indents a string by adding a prefix to each line.
insertAt Inserts a substring at a specified position in a string.
makeValidVariableName Converts a string into a valid JavaScript variable name by replacing invalid characters with underscores.
normalizeString Normalizes a string by converting it to the NFC form and replacing non-breaking spaces with regular spaces.
replace Replaces occurrences of strings in a given string based on a replacements map.
replaceAll Replaces all occurrences of a search string or pattern with the results of an replacer function.
replaceAllAsync Asynchronously replaces all occurrences of a search string or pattern with the results of an asynchronous replacer function.
trimEnd Trims the specified suffix from the end of a string.
trimStart Trims the specified prefix from the start of a string.
unescape Unescapes a string by replacing escape sequences with their corresponding characters.
unindent Unindents a string by removing a prefix from each line.
Type Description
AsyncReplacer A synchronous/asynchronous function that generates replacement strings, or a string to replace with.
Replacer A synchronous function that generates replacement strings, or a string to replace with.
Variable Description
EMPTY An empty string constant. A shared sentinel for the $\{EMPTY\} prefix that silences the obsidianmd/ui/sentence-case ESLint false positive on legitimate lower-case UI text (e.g. cursor colliding with the Cursor brand). setName(${EMPTY}…at cursor…) renders byte-identical '' at runtime while the \{...\} placeholder makes the rule skip the string. Consumers import this instead of redefining a per-file const EMPTY = ''.
