cli-truncate

Truncate a string to a specific width in the terminal

Gracefully handles ANSI escapes. Like a string styled with chalk. It also supports Unicode surrogate pairs and fullwidth characters.

Install

npm install cli-truncate

Usage

import cliTruncate from 'cli-truncate';

cliTruncate('unicorn', 4);
//=> 'uni…'

// Truncate at different positions
cliTruncate('unicorn', 4, {position: 'start'});
//=> '…orn'

cliTruncate('unicorn', 4, {position: 'middle'});
//=> 'un…n'

cliTruncate('unicorns rainbow dragons', 6, {position: 'end'})
//=> 'unico…'

cliTruncate('\u001B[31municorn\u001B[39m', 4);
//=> '\u001B[31muni\u001B[39m…'

// Truncate Unicode surrogate pairs
cliTruncate('uni\uD83C\uDE00corn', 5);
//=> 'uni\uD83C\uDE00…'

// Truncate fullwidth characters
cliTruncate('안녕하세요', 3);
//=> '안…'

// Truncate the paragraph to the terminal width
const paragraph = 'Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetuer adipiscing elit. Aenean commodo ligula eget dolor. Aenean massa.';
cliTruncate(paragraph, process.stdout.columns);
//=> 'Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetuer adipiscing…'
