The repository & npm package
You can find the all the utility functions from this series at github.com/martinkr/onelinecode
The library is also published to npm as @onelinecode for your convenience.
The code and the npm package will be updated every time I publish a new article.

This is still converting tabs to spaces, not the other way around, as advertised.
Hi Alex,
thank you for pointing this out. Classic copy & paste error.
