L10n Breaks

There are lots of ways to determine where linebreaks in text could go, and that can vary a lot by language.

This package provides helpers for various linebreak cases.

Supported cases:

• Chinese & Japanese: splitOnBreakpoints breaks on ideographs while ensuring that punctuation is attached to the appropriate adjacent character, and splits non-CJ text on spaces and other punctuation (also attaching the punctuation to the appropriate side of the split).

Usage

import { splitOnBreakpoints } from '@bscotch/l10n-breaks';

console.log(
  splitOnBreakpoints(
    '记得长大后学习怎么12345 hello。用锤子的时候，第一课就是学会站稳脚跟。如果站不稳，那就永远都打不准。有时候往往是那些微不足道的小事，能帮你重新找到立足点。',
  ),
);
