toMaxLineLength
toMaxLineLength and its companion toMaxLinesLength are word-wrapping utilities. They split text by word boundaries so no line exceeds a given character width — useful when building fixed-width layouts or rendering inside a Card.
Signatures
// Wrap a single string — returns an array of lines
function toMaxLineLength(str: string, width: number): string[]
// Wrap an array of pre-split lines
function toMaxLinesLength(lines: string[], width: number): string[]
Parameters
str/lines: The text (or pre-split lines) to wrap.width: Maximum character count per output line. Words that would exceed this limit are moved to a new line.
Return Value
An array of string lines, each no wider than width characters.
Usage
import { toMaxLineLength, toMaxLinesLength } from "ts-better-console";
const paragraph = "The quick brown fox jumps over the lazy dog";
const lines = toMaxLineLength(paragraph, 20);
console.log(lines);
// ["The quick brown", "fox jumps over", "the lazy dog"]
// Wrapping an already-split array
const input = ["Line one is short", "Line two is much much longer and needs wrapping"];
const wrapped = toMaxLinesLength(input, 20);
