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("๐ฉโโค๏ธโ๐จ") == 2
console.log(wcswidth("\u{1F469}\u{200D}\u{2764}\u{FE0F}\u{200D}\u{1F468}"));
>> wcswidth("cafeฬ") == 4
>> "cafeฬ".length == 5
>> wcswidth("โ ๏ธ warning") == 9
>> "โ ๏ธ warning".length == 10
>> wcswidth("๐จโ๐จโ๐งโ๐ง") == 2
>> "๐จโ๐จโ๐งโ๐ง".length == 11
>> wcswidth("๐ฉโโค๏ธโ๐จ") == 2
>> "๐ฉโโค๏ธโ๐จ".length == 8
yes! Compared to string-width, it's about 33x faster
