Wraps a string to a given number of characters using a string break character.
|
|
|
|
- Use `String.prototype.replace()` and a regular expression to insert a given break character at the nearest whitespace of `max` characters.
|
|
- Omit the third argument, `br`, to use the default value of `'\n'`.
|
|
|
|
```js
|
|
const wordWrap = (str, max, br = '\n') => str.replace(
|
|
new RegExp(`(?![^\\n]{1,${max}}$)([^\\n]{1,${max}})\\s`, 'g'), '$1' + br
|
|
);
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
```js
|
|
wordWrap(
|
|
'Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipiscing elit. Fusce tempus.',
|
|
32
|
|
);
|
|
// 'Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet,\nconsectetur adipiscing elit.\nFusce tempus.'
|
|
wordWrap(
|
|
'Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipiscing elit. Fusce tempus.',
|
|
32,
|
|
'\r\n'
|
|
);
|
|
// 'Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet,\r\nconsectetur adipiscing elit.\r\nFusce tempus.'
|
|
```
