# Node Text # This package is a collection of utilities for manipulating text. ## Installation ## Use `npm install text` or add `text` to a folder in your `NODE_PATH`. ## API ## ### Encoding ### #### encode64(str) #### Return `str` encoded using a standard base64 alphabet. #### decode64(str) #### Return the standard base64 decoding of `str`. #### urlsafeEncode64(str) #### Like `encode64`, but uses `-_` instead of `+/` to make the result url-safe. #### urlsafeDecode64(str) #### Like `decode64`, but assumes the encoding uses `-_` instead of `+/`. ### Manipulation ### ### splitLines(str) ### Return an array of lines in `str` without trailing line delimitors. #### wrap(str, [soft=70, hard]) #### Break `str` into segments along word boundaries. Return the segments in an array. Usually, each segment is no longer than `soft` characters. If there are no word breaks and `hard` is set, the long word will be split into segments that are no longer than `hard` characters. If `hard` is not set, long words are not broken. #### fill(str, [soft=70, hard, glue]) #### This is a shortcut for `wrap(str, soft, hard).join(glue)`. By default, `glue` is a newline. #### atMost(str, [soft=70, hard, pattern="\\s"]) #### Return the largest substring of `str` terminated by `pattern` that's no longer than `soft` characters. By default, `pattern` is any space character. If a `hard` limit is given, the result will be no longer than `hard` characters, even if `pattern` isn't found. ## Compatibility ## Node Text has been tested with Node.JS version `0.1.103`. ## License ## Copyright (c) 2010, Ben Weaver &lt;ben@orangesoda.net&gt; All rights reserved.
