wordwrapjs

Word wrapping, with a few features.

• force-break option
• wraps hypenated words
• multilingual - wraps any language that uses whitespace for word separation.

Synopsis

Wrap some text in a 20 character column.

> wordwrap = require('wordwrapjs')

> text = 'Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipiscing elit, sed do eiusmod tempor incididunt ut labore et dolore magna aliqua.'

> result = wordwrap.wrap(text, { width: 20 })

result now looks like this:

Lorem ipsum dolor
sit amet,
consectetur
adipiscing elit, sed
do eiusmod tempor
incididunt ut labore
et dolore magna
aliqua.

By default, long words will not break. Unless you set the break option.

[ 'https://github.com/75lb/wordwrapjs' ]

> wrap.lines(url, { width: 18, break: true })
[ 'https://github.com', '/75lb/wordwrapjs' ]
