### wrapAnsi(string, columns, options?)
2022-01-21 08:28:41 +00:00
Wrap words to the specified column width.
2022-06-08 10:36:39 +00:00
#### string
2022-01-21 08:28:41 +00:00
Type: `string`
2022-06-08 10:36:39 +00:00
String with ANSI escape codes. Like one styled by [`chalk` ](https://github.com/chalk/chalk ). Newline characters will be normalized to `\n` .
2022-01-21 08:28:41 +00:00
#### columns
Type: `number`
Number of columns to wrap the text to.
#### options
2022-06-08 10:36:39 +00:00
Type: `object`
2022-01-21 08:28:41 +00:00
##### hard
2022-06-08 10:36:39 +00:00
Type: `boolean` \
2022-01-21 08:28:41 +00:00
Default: `false`
By default the wrap is soft, meaning long words may extend past the column width. Setting this to `true` will make it hard wrap at the column width.
##### wordWrap
2022-06-08 10:36:39 +00:00
Type: `boolean` \
2022-01-21 08:28:41 +00:00
Default: `true`
By default, an attempt is made to split words at spaces, ensuring that they don't extend past the configured columns. If wordWrap is `false` , each column will instead be completely filled splitting words as necessary.
2022-06-08 10:36:39 +00:00
##### trim
Type: `boolean` \
Default: `true`
Whitespace on all lines is removed by default. Set this option to `false` if you don't want to trim.
