@thebespokepixel/string

A collection of enhanced formats and utilities for strings.

Designed to curate esoteric and eclectic Unicode string manipulations, plus some more generally helpful utilities.

Install

npm install @thebespokepixel/string --save

Usage

const bString = require('@thebespokepixel/string')

console.log(bString.subScript('String to print'))

API

.pad(string, char, length)

Pads string, using char to length characters. If length is negative, pads the right rather than the left of string. If length is less than string.length, it will crop string to fit.

.toSuperscript(string) | .toSubscript(string)

Prints the string using the alternative super/sub characters available in Unicode (Such as in DejaVu Sans Mono or Source Code Pro). Superscript support is much more complete that Subscript. Unavaiable subscript characters will be printed as ₓ. The character Q has to be approximated.

TODO: Use compound Unicode overlay characters to better approximate missing chars.

Unless the environment has TERM_FONT=full set (see Term-NG) and you have a Unicode terminal font that supports sub/super-script characters, then it will fall back to printing normal characters.
