heredoc

multiline strings for javascript

installation

$ npm install heredoc

usage

this technique takes advantage of Function.prototype.toString()

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 <pre>)
*/})
console.log(str)

AMD

heredoc defines itself as an AMD module for use in AMD environments.

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.
