Remove all whitespace related to comments

Source code:

const obj = {
  // Here are some code comments
  name: `js`,
  /**
   * Here are some code comments
   */
  v: `es6`,
}

Conversion options:

• strip-comments@2.0.1

const outStr = strip(str, {
  preserveNewlines: false,
});

Actual output:

const obj = {
  
  name: `js`,
    v: `es6`,
}

Note: v There is a blank character before the key, but it is not in the source code. Is this a bug?

Expected output:

const obj = {
  name: `js`,
  v: `es6`,
}

I know this is really old, but in case anyone else comes across it. I couldn't get the preserveNewlines: false to work so added this:

const cleanScript = strip(script).replace(/[\r\n]+/gm, '\n');
