Install

$ yarn add fast-chunk-string

Usage

const fastChunkString = require('fast-chunk-string');
 
// the fastest way
fastChunkString('unicorns', {size: 2, unicodeAware: false});
// => ['un', 'ic', 'or', 'ns']
 
// ignore unicode, still fast but inaccurate
fastChunkString('😀😃😄😁', {size: 2, unicodeAware: false});
// => ['😀', '😃', '😄', '😁']
 
// respect unicode, slow but accurate
fastChunkString('😀😃😄😁', {size: 2, unicodeAware: true});
// => ['😀😃', '😄😁']
