wordwrapjs

Word wrapping for plain text.

Synopsis

Wrap some text in a 20 character column.

import wordwrap from 'wordwrapjs'

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

Force long words to wrap by setting the break flag.
