CardWidth

The CardWidth type controls how wide a card (or input) should be. You can pass a pixel number, a fraction of the terminal width, or let it figure itself out.

Type Definition

The CardWidth type accepts the following values:

• number — a fixed width in characters. Minimum is 12; clamped to the terminal width.
• Ratio — a fraction string: "1/2", "1/3", "2/3", or "full". Calculated relative to the terminal width.
• "auto" — shrinks to fit the content (minimum 12 characters).

type Ratio = "1/2" | "1/3" | "2/3" | "full";

type CardWidth = number | Ratio | "auto";

Usage

You can use CardWidth to control the width of a card when creating it:

import { Card } from "ts-better-console";

// Fixed width of 40 characters
console.log(new Card("Content", 40, { }).render());

// Auto width based on content
console.log(new Card("Content", "auto", { }).render());
