css-line-break

A JavaScript library for Line Breaking and identifying Word Boundaries,
implementing the Unicode Line Breaking Algorithm (UAX #14)

Line breaking, also known as word wrapping, is the process of breaking a section of text into
lines such that it will fit in the available width of a page, window or other display area.
The Unicode Line Breaking Algorithm performs part of this process. Given an input text,
it produces a set of positions called "break opportunities" that are appropriate points to
begin a new line. The selection of actual line break positions from the set of break opportunities
is not covered by the Unicode Line Breaking Algorithm, but is in the domain of higher level
software with knowledge of the available width and the display size of the text.

In addition, the module implements CSS specific tailoring options to line breaking as
defined in CSS Text Module Level 3.

Installing

You can install the module via npm:

npm install css-line-break

Usage

The LineBreaker creates an iterator that returns Breaks for a given text.

LineBreaker(text, [options]);

Example

JSFiddle

 import {LineBreaker} from 'css-line-break';

const breaker = LineBreaker('Lorem ipsum lol.', {
    lineBreak: 'strict',
    wordBreak: 'normal'
});

const words = [];
let bk;

while (!(bk = breaker.next()).done) {
    words.push(bk.value.slice());
}

assert.deepEqual(words, ['Lorem ', 'ipsum ', 'lol.']);
