A node.js port of uwcwidth, a fast function for determining a string's display width
That code is a port of POSIX wcswidth, a standard function for counting the number of columns occupied by a string, and is derived from musl libc
import { wcswidth } from "display-width";
// wcswidth("👩❤️👨") == 2
console.log(wcswidth("\u{1F469}\u{200D}\u{2764}\u{FE0F}\u{200D}\u{1F468}"));
>> wcswidth("café") == 4
>> "café".length == 5
>> wcswidth("⚠︎ warning") == 9
>> "⚠︎ warning".length == 10
>> wcswidth("👨👨👧👧") == 2
>> "👨👨👧👧".length == 11
>> wcswidth("👩❤️👨") == 2
>> "👩❤️👨".length == 8
yes! Compared to string-width, it's about 33x faster
