word-wrap-next

Wrap words to a specified length.

This is a close of the currently unmaintained npm package word-wrap. It includes the fix for CVE-2023-26115. I decided to maintain this package for now.

Install

Install with npm:

$ npm install --save word-wrap-next

// or simpler

$ npm i word-wrap-next

Usage

var wrap = require('word-wrap-next');

wrap('Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipiscing elit, sed do eiusmod tempor incididunt ut labore et dolore magna aliqua. Ut enim ad minim veniam, quis nostrud exercitation ullamco laboris nisi ut aliquip ex ea commodo consequat.');

Results in:

  Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipiscing
  elit, sed do eiusmod tempor incididunt ut labore
  et dolore magna aliqua. Ut enim ad minim veniam,
  quis nostrud exercitation ullamco laboris nisi ut
  aliquip ex ea commodo consequat.

Options

options.width

Type: Number

Default: 50

The width of the text before wrapping to a new line.

Example:

wrap(str, {width: 60});

options.indent

Type: String

Default: `` (none)

The string to use at the beginning of each line.

Example:

wrap(str, {indent: '      '});

options.newline

Type: String

Default: \n

The string to use at the end of each line.

Example:

wrap(str, {newline: '\n\n'});

options.escape

Type: function

Default: function(str){return str;}

An escape function to run on each line after splitting them.

Example:

var xmlescape = require('xml-escape');
wrap(str, {
  escape: function(string){
    return xmlescape(string);
  }
});

options.trim

Type: Boolean

Default: false

Trim trailing whitespace from the returned string. This option is included since .trim() would also strip the leading indentation from the first line.

Example:

wrap(str, {trim: true});

options.cut

Type: Boolean

Default: false

Break a word between any two letters when the word is longer than the specified width.

Example:

wrap(str, {cut: true});
