Cleanex

Clean up your Elixir terms.

By default it cleans strings (or any string values found inside maps, lists, keyword lists) by trimming ends, replacing double+ spaces, removing null-bytes; useful when working with user input.

Installation

def deps do
  [
    {:lib_cleanex, "~> 0.3.0"}
  ]
end

Usage

As function

iex> Cleanex.clean(" hello   world ")
"hello world"

iex> Cleanex.clean(%{greeting: "  hello   world  "})
%{greeting: "hello world"}

iex> Cleanex.clean {" k ", " v "}
{"k", "v"}

As plug for cleaning conn.params

pipeline :api do
  ...
  plug Cleanex.Plugs.ParamsCleaner
  ...
end

Plug Options

[strict: bool] -- when strict is set to false, inner whitespace won't be touched (default true)
