# string-width

> Get the visual width of a string - the number of columns required to display it

Some Unicode characters are [fullwidth](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Halfwidth_and_fullwidth_forms) and use double the normal width. [ANSI escape codes](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ANSI_escape_code) are stripped and doesn't affect the width.

Useful to be able to measure the actual width of command-line output.


## Install

```
$ npm install string-width
```


## Usage

```js
const stringWidth = require('string-width');

stringWidth('a');
//=> 1

stringWidth('古');
//=> 2

```
