## API

### [strip](index.js#L34)

Strip all code comments from the given `input`, including protected comments that start with `!`, unless disabled by setting `options.keepProtected` to true.

**Params**

* `input` **{String}**: string from which to strip comments
* `options` **{Object}**: optional options, passed to [extract-comments](https://github.com/jonschlinkert/extract-comments)  
* `returns` **{String}**: modified input

**Options**

- `line` **{Boolean}**: if `false` strip only block comments, default `true`
- `block` **{Boolean}**: if `false` strip only line comments, default `true`
- `keepProtected` **{Boolean}**: Keep ignored comments (e.g. `/*!`, `/**!` and `//!`)
- `preserveNewlines` **{Boolean}**: Preserve newlines after comments are stripped

**Example**

```js
const str = strip('const foo = "bar";// this is a comment\n /* me too */');
console.log(str);
// => 'const foo = "bar";'
```

### [.block](index.js#L54)

Strip only block comments.

**Params**

* `input` **{String}**: string from which to strip comments
* `options` **{Object}**: pass `opts.keepProtected: true` to keep ignored comments (e.g. `/*!`)
* `returns` **{String}**: modified string

**Example**

```js
const strip = require('..');
const str = strip.block('const foo = "bar";// this is a comment\n /* me too */');
console.log(str);
// => 'const foo = "bar";// this is a comment'
```

### [.line](index.js#L73)

// => 'const foo = "bar";\n/* me too */'
```

### [.first](index.js#L93)
