function stringLength

stringLength: (string: string, options?: Options) => number;
  • Get the real length of a string - by correctly counting astral symbols and ignoring [ansi escape codes](https://github.com/sindresorhus/strip-ansi).

    String#length erroneously counts [astral symbols](https://web.archive.org/web/20150721114550/http://www.tlg.uci.edu/~opoudjis/unicode/unicode_astral.html) as two characters.

    Example 1

    import stringLength from 'string-length';
    '🐴'.length;
    //=> 2
    stringLength('🐴');
    //=> 1
    stringLength('\u001B[1municorn\u001B[22m');
    //=> 7
