=head1 NAME
Text::ANSI::WideUtil - Routines for text containing ANSI color codes (wide-character functions only)
=head1 VERSION
This document describes version 0.232 of Text::ANSI::WideUtil (from Perl distribution Text-ANSI-WideUtil), released on 2021-04-14.
=head1 SYNOPSIS
use Text::ANSI::WideUtil qw(
ta_mbpad
ta_mbsubstr
ta_mbswidth
ta_mbswidth_height
ta_mbtrunc
ta_mbwrap
);
# calculate visual width of text if printed on terminal (can handle Unicode
# wide characters and exclude the ANSI color codes)
say ta_mbswidth("\e[31mred"); # => 3
say ta_mbswidth("\e[31m红色"); # => 4
# ditto, but also return the number of lines
say ta_mbswidth_height("\e[31mred\n红色"); # => [4, 2]
# wrap text to a certain column width, handle ANSI color codes
say ta_mbwrap(...);
# pad (left, right, center) text to a certain width
say ta_mbpad(...);
# truncate text to a certain width while still passing ANSI color codes
say ta_mbtrunc(...);
# get substring, like ta_substr()
my $substr = ta_mbsubstr("...", $pos, $len);
# return text but with substring replaced with replacement
say ta_mbsubstr("...", $pos, $len, $replacement);
=head1 DESCRIPTION
This module contains the wide-character variant (C<ta_mb*()>) for some functions
in L<Text::ANSI::Util>. It is split so only this module requires
L<Text::WideChar::Util> and Text::ANSI::Util can be kept slim.
=for Pod::Coverage ^(ta_trunc)$
=head1 FUNCTIONS
=head2 ta_mbpad($text, $width[, $which[, $padchar[, $truncate]]]) => STR
Pad <$text> to C<$width>. Like C<ta_pad()> but it uses C<ta_mbswidth()> to
determine visual width instead of C<ta_length()>. See documentation for
C<ta_pad()> for more details on the other arguments.
=head2 ta_mbtrunc($text, $width) => STR
Truncate C<$text> to C<$width>. Like C<ta_trunc()> but it uses C<ta_mbswidth()>
to determine visual width instead of C<ta_length()>.
=head2 ta_mbswidth($text) => INT
Return visual width of C<$text> (in number of columns) if printed on terminal.
Equivalent to C<< Text::WideChar::Util::mbswidth(ta_strip($text)) >>. This
function can be used e.g. in making sure that your text aligns vertically when
output to the terminal in tabular/table format.
Note that C<ta_mbswidth()> handles multiline text correctly, e.g.: C<<
ta_mbswidth("foo\nbarbaz") >> gives 6 instead of 3-1+8 = 8. It splits the input
text first with C<< /\r?\n/ >> as separator.
=head2 ta_mbswidth_height($text) => [INT, INT]
Like C<ta_mbswidth()>, but also gives height (number of lines). For example, C<<
ta_mbswidth_height("西爪哇\nb\n") >> gives C<[6, 3]>.
=head2 ta_mbwrap($text, $width, \%opts) => STR
Like C<ta_wrap()>, but it uses C<ta_mbswidth()> to determine visual width
instead of C<ta_length()>.
Performance: ~300/s on my Core i5 1.7GHz laptop for a ~1KB of text (with zero to
moderate amount of color codes). As a comparison, Text::WideChar::Util's
mbwrap() can do about 650/s.
=head2 ta_mbsubstr($text, $pos, $len[ , $replacement ]) => STR
Like C<ta_substr()>, but handles wide characters. C<$pos> is counted in visual
width, not number of characters.
=head1 FAQ
=head2 Why split functionalities of wide character and color support into multiple modules/distributions?
Performance (see numbers in the function description), dependency
(L<Unicode::GCString> is used for wide character support), and overhead (loading
Unicode::GCString).
=head2 How do I truncate string based on number of characters instead of columns?
You can simply use C<ta_trunc()> even on text containing wide characters.
ta_trunc() uses Perl's length() which works on a per-character basis.
