wp_remove_surrounding_empty_script_tags( string $contents ): string

Removes leading and trailing _empty_ script tags.


Description

This is a helper meant to be used for literal script tag construction within wp_get_inline_script_tag() or wp_print_inline_script_tag().
It removes the literal values of "" and "" from around an inline script after trimming whitespace. Typlically this is used in conjunction with output buffering, where ob_get_clean() is passed as the $contents argument.

Example:

// Strips exact literal empty SCRIPT tags.
$js = '<script>sayHello();</script>;
'sayHello();' === wp_remove_surrounding_empty_script_tags( $js );

// Otherwise if anything is different it warns in the JS console.
$js = '<script type="text/javascript">console.log( "hi" );</script>';
'console.error( ... )' === wp_remove_surrounding_empty_script_tags( $js );
