function stringWidth

stringWidth: (string: string, options?: Options) => number;

  • Get the visual width of a string - the number of columns required to display it.

    Some Unicode characters are [fullwidth](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Halfwidth_and_fullwidth_forms) and use double the normal width. [ANSI escape codes](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ANSI_escape_code) are stripped and doesn't affect the width.

    Example 1

    import stringWidth from 'string-width';
    

    stringWidth('a');
    //=> 1
    

    stringWidth('古');
    //=> 2
    

    stringWidth('\u001B[1m古\u001B[22m');
    //=> 2
