import * as _ from 'lodash';
assert.true(_.isEqual(trimAllFieldsInObjectAndChildren(' bob '), 'bob'));
assert.true(_.isEqual(trimAllFieldsInObjectAndChildren('2 '), '2'));
assert.true(_.isEqual(trimAllFieldsInObjectAndChildren(['2 ', ' bob ']), ['2', 'bob']));
assert.true(_.isEqual(trimAllFieldsInObjectAndChildren({'b ': ' bob '}), {'b': 'bob'}));
assert.true(_.isEqual(trimAllFieldsInObjectAndChildren({'b ': ' bob ', 'c': 5, d: true }), {'b': 'bob', 'c': 5, d: true}));
assert.true(_.isEqual(trimAllFieldsInObjectAndChildren({'b ': ' bob ', 'c': {' d': 'alica c c '}}), {'b': 'bob', 'c': {'d': 'alica c c'}}));
assert.true(_.isEqual(trimAllFieldsInObjectAndChildren({'a ': ' bob ', 'b': {'c ': {'d': 'e '}}}), {'a': 'bob', 'b': {'c': {'d': 'e'}}}));
assert.true(_.isEqual(trimAllFieldsInObjectAndChildren({'a ': ' bob ', 'b': [{'c ': {'d': 'e '}}, {' f ': ' g ' }]}), {'a': 'bob', 'b': [{'c': {'d': 'e'}}, {'f': 'g' }]}));
