Is it by any chance possible to use .trimMargin() on

const val

?

const val foo = """ some text """.trimMargin()
?

I’m pretty certain that won’t work

in order for a value to be

const

it needs to be a string or a primitive that the kotlin compiler can inline where the

val

is used

Andreas Sinz

yeah, it needs to be a constant

It won't work as this because it's compile-time

May be an other way exists

There isn't any compile time evaluation yet.

you’d have to have a version of your string already trimmed if you need it to be

const

which isn’t really necessary unless you’re passing some large string to an annotation or something 🤔

so no compile-time trimming of any sort?
