Trim values automatically in a form submission

[44dhi]

Describe the problem

Recently, a company I work with gave us a sprint ticket to add trimming to all values submitted via a form throughout the whole project. It took us a lot of useful hours to track down and identify all the text inputs which needed to be trimmed before form submission.

A colleague of mine suggested to write a high order function that will iterate through the request body and trim out the values of type string.

Describe the proposed solution

This got me thinking to have a custom prop on svelte form elements that can automatically trim values on submit. A prop like autoTrim can be introduced on form tags that will automatically all values before passing invoking the onSubmit or action.

That is some very specific and niche utility that will add some bespoke props on the form...you can probably create an utility function that does something similar is you are doing it on the server in the hooks.server.ts handle function.

Thanks for reporting but we are not gonna add this. 😃
