API

wrapAnsi(input, columns, [options])

Wrap words to the specified column width.

input

Type: string

String with ANSI escape codes. Like one styled by chalk.

columns

Type: number

Number of columns to wrap the text to.

options

hard

Type: boolean
Default: false

By default the wrap is soft, meaning long words may extend past the column width. Setting this to true will make it hard wrap at the column width.

wordWrap

Type: boolean
Default: true

By default, an attempt is made to split words at spaces, ensuring that they don't extend past the configured columns. If wordWrap is false, each column will instead be completely filled splitting words as necessary.
