What are react-wrap-balancer's main functionalities?

Basic Text Balancing

This feature allows you to wrap text within the WrapBalancer component to ensure it is balanced across lines.

import { WrapBalancer } from 'react-wrap-balancer';

function App() {
  return (
    <WrapBalancer>
      <p>This is a sample text that will be balanced across lines for better readability.</p>
    </WrapBalancer>

}

Custom Balancing Options

This feature allows you to customize the balancing behavior by passing options such as maxWidth to the WrapBalancer component.

import { WrapBalancer } from 'react-wrap-balancer';

function App() {
  return (
    <WrapBalancer options={{ maxWidth: 500 }}>
      <p>This text will be balanced with a maximum width of 500 pixels.</p>
    </WrapBalancer>
  );
}
