Utilities for Unicode East Asian Width (EAW).
Installation
npm i meaw
# or
yarn add meaw
Usage
getEAW()
Gets the EAW property of a character.
import { getEAW } from "meaw";
// Narrow
assert(getEAW("A") === "Na");
// Wide
assert(getEAW("あ") === "W");
assert(getEAW("安") === "W");
assert(getEAW("🍣") === "W");
// Fullwidth
assert(getEAW("Ａ") === "F");
// Halfwidth
assert(getEAW("ｱ") === "H");
// Ambiguous
assert(getEAW("∀") === "A");
assert(getEAW("→") === "A");
assert(getEAW("Ω") === "A");
assert(getEAW("Я") === "A");
// Neutral
assert(getEAW("ℵ") === "N");
// character position (in code unit) can be specified
assert(getEAW("ℵAあＡｱ∀", 2) === "W");
computeWidth()
Computes the width of a string based on the EAW properties of the characters. By default, characters with property Wide (W) or Fullwidth (F) are treated as wide (= 2) and others are as narrow (= 1).
import { computeWidth } from "meaw";
assert(computeWidth("Aあ🍣Ω") === 6);
// character width for each EAW property can be customized
assert(computeWidth("Aあ🍣Ω", { "A": 2 }) === 7);
