Babel plugin?

[developit]

It'd be awesome to have this with no runtime cost. Could it be done as a babel plugin?

[searls]

It's a pretty simple function, so I would hope it could! I don't use babel or know how to make plugins for it, but I'd hope someone would consider it!

Unsure if should keep open here.

There is a similar thing implemented by dedent called "babel-macro", but I'm not sure if it needs to be a part of theredoc or a separate thing.

I hadn't heard of babel-macros before, it's a pretty great idea. All you need to do is:

1. npm i babel-plugin-macros dedent

2. Add macros to your list of babel plugins (wherever your babel config is)

3. Use dedent e.g.

import dedent from 'dedent/macro'

logIndentedString()

function logIndentedString() {
  console.log(dedent(`
    This string
    is properly indented
      at compile time
  `))
}

This is failing on my jenkins build no node 4 support :(

node_modules/theredoc/index.js:1

                                                                                                           ^^^

theredoc is failing or attempting to write a Babel macro is failing?

Part of why I waited to publish theredoc until now was that Node 4 was EOL'd on 4/30/18 and I finally felt comfortable dropping support from new releases of our open source.
