byte-length
Advanced tools
Calculate the real byte length of any string.
In node many will use Buffer.byteLength, however including the entire buffer shim in the browser just for getting the byte length of a string is not very conservative.
npm install byte-length
bower install byte-length
var byteLength = require('byte-length');
byteLength('hello'); //-> 5
byteLength('😀'); //-> 4
