ExpectMessageBuilderOptions.trimWhiteSpace property

Trim the white space around the message after building it.

Signature:

trimWhiteSpace: boolean;

Remarks

This is different from trimSpaces, in that this only pertains to the space around the entire message.

Will trim space at the start or end of a message, and does so only after the message has been completely built and populated.

Lets say you appended the path to the start of your messages:

const baseMessage = new ExpectMessageBuilder(
  `${place.path} Expected ${place.actual.value} to ${place.not} equal ${place.expected.value}`
);

If the statement ended up not having a path, your message would come out with a leading space.

With trimWhiteSpace: false

 Expected 5 to equal 4

With trimWhiteSpace: true

Expected 5 to equal 5
