# string-width
> Get the visual width of a string - the number of columns required to display it
Some Unicode characters are [fullwidth](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Halfwidth_and_fullwidth_forms) and use double the normal width. [ANSI escape codes](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ANSI_escape_code) are stripped and doesn't affect the width.
Useful to be able to measure the actual width of command-line output.
## Install
```sh
npm install string-width
```
## Usage
```js
import stringWidth from 'string-width';
stringWidth('a');
//=> 1
stringWidth('古');
//=> 2
stringWidth('\u001B[1m古\u001B[22m');
//=> 2
```
## API
### stringWidth(string, options?)
#### string
Type: `string`
The string to be counted.
#### options
Type: `object`
##### ambiguousIsNarrow
Type: `boolean`\
Default: `true`
Count [ambiguous width characters](https://www.unicode.org/reports/tr11/#Ambiguous) as having narrow width (count of 1) instead of wide width (count of 2).
> Ambiguous characters behave like wide or narrow characters depending on the context (language tag, script identification, associated font, source of data, or explicit markup; all can provide the context). **If the context cannot be established reliably, they should be treated as narrow characters by default.**
