function truncate
truncate(
text: string,
width: number
): string

Cuts a line to width columns, counting what the terminal counts.

The reset goes back on the end, so a value cut off mid-colour cannot leak its palette into whatever the terminal draws next.

import { truncate } from './terminal.ts';

truncate('abcdef', 4); // 'abc…'
truncate('abc', 10); // 'abc' — what already fits is left alone

Parameters

text: string
width: number

Return Type

string

Usage

import { truncate } from "lib/repl/terminal.ts";
