center-align

center-align

Center-align the text in a string.

Install

Install with npm:

$ npm install --save center-align

Usage

var center = require('center-align');
center(val, width);

Params

• val {String|Array}: the string or array of strings to center align
• width {Number} (optional): the total width of each line in the expected result, after it's centered.

Examples

console.log(center('foo')); //=> 'foo' (does nothing)
console.log(center('foo', 12)); //=> '    foo    '
console.log(center('foo', 10)); //=> '   foo   '
console.log(center('foo', 8));  //=> '  foo  '

Multiple lines

If expected width is not provided, the length of the longest line will be used.

Example

If used on the following:

// value can be a string, or an array of strings
center([
  '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'
]);

The result would be:

     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
