More detailed documentation is available here.

getEAW()

Gets the EAW property of a character.

import { getEAW } from "meaw";

// Narrow
assert(getEAW("A") === "Na");
// Wide
assert(getEAW("あ") === "W");
assert(getEAW("安") === "W");
assert(getEAW("🍣") === "W");
// Fullwidth
assert(getEAW("A") === "F");
// Halfwidth
assert(getEAW("ア") === "H");
// Ambiguous
assert(getEAW("∀") === "A");
assert(getEAW("→") === "A");
assert(getEAW("Ω") === "A");
assert(getEAW("Я") === "A");
// Neutral
assert(getEAW("ℵ") === "N");

// a position (in code unit) can be specified
assert(getEAW("ℵAあAア∀", 2) === "W");

computeWidth()

Computes width of a string based on the EAW properties of its characters. By default characters with property Wide (W) or Fullwidth (F) are treated as wide (= 2) and the others are as narrow (= 1).

import { computeWidth } from "meaw";

assert(computeWidth("Aあ🍣Ω") === 6);
// custom widths can be specified by an object
assert(computeWidth("Aあ🍣Ω", { "A": 2 }) === 7);
