Proposal

It would be nice to have possibility to automatically trim() parsed strings. Something like

$parsedCsv = \League\Csv\Reader::createFromPath($path, 'r');
$parsedCsv->trimStrings()

So I dont need to use this code each time I'm parsing CSVs:

function trimArrayStrings(&$array) {
    foreach ($array as &$value) {
        if (is_array($value)) {
            trimArrayStrings($value); // Recursive call for nested arrays
        } elseif (is_string($value)) {
            $value = trim($value); // Trim the string
        }
    }
}

The Reader has a addFormatter method where you can register a callback to format the record before it is accessible by any other mechanism. Nothing prevents you do to something like this.

$reader = Reader::createFromPath($path);
$reader->addFormatter(fn (array $record): array => array_map(trim(...), $record));
foreach (reader as $record) {
// 
}

Hope it will help you.

Thank you, I've searched for trimming input data in documentation and I didn't got this one.
