# wordwrapjs
Word wrapping for plain text.
## Synopsis
Wrap some text in a 20 character column.
```js
import wordwrap from 'wordwrapjs'
const text = 'Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipiscing elit, sed do eiusmod tempor incididunt ut labore et dolore magna aliqua.'
const result = wordwrap.wrap(text, { width: 20 })
```
`result` now looks like this:
```
Lorem ipsum dolor
sit amet,
consectetur
adipiscing elit, sed
do eiusmod tempor
incididunt ut labore
et dolore magna
aliqua.
```
Force long words to wrap by setting the `break` flag.
```
Welcome to Node.js v16.6.2.

> wrap.lines(url, { width: 18 })
[ 'https://github.com/75lb/wordwrapjs' ]
> wrap.lines(url, { width: 18, break: true })
