# wordwrapjs

Word wrapping for plain text.

## Synopsis

Wrap some text in a 20 character column.

```js
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.

```
Welcome to Node.js v16.6.2.
> wrap = require('wordwrapjs')

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

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

## Load anywhere

This library is compatible with Node.js, the Web and any style of module loader. It can be loaded anywhere, natively without transpilation.

Node.js:

```js
const wordwrap = require('wordwrapjs')
```

Within Node.js with ECMAScript Module support enabled:

```js
import wordwrap from 'wordwrapjs'
```

Within an modern browser ECMAScript Module:

```js
import wordwrap from './node_modules/wordwrapjs/dist/index.mjs'
```

Old browser (adds `window.wordwrapjs`):

```html
<script nomodule src="./node_modules/wordwrapjs/dist/index.js"></script>
```
