string-length

Get the real length of a string - by correctly counting astral symbols and ignoring ansi escape codes

String#length erroneously counts astral symbols as two characters.

Install

$ npm install string-length

Usage

```js const stringLength = require('string-length');

'🐴'.length; //=> 2

stringLength('🐴'); //=> 1

stringLength('\u001B[1municorn\u001B[22m'); //=> 7 ```
