To start off, this is probably worded badly, as I am not sure how to put what I want into words
Lets say I have this canvas (I'm using node-canvas
) and I want to make it display text from a user input. However, the way I am doing it limits the number of characters to 36-38 (not looking for a solution to this). So I made a script using the Regex textstr.match(/.{1,32}/g)
that splits the string every 32 characters (just to be safe), calculates a new canvas height, and then does join("\\n")
when it comes time to print the string. However, when receiving feedback on this, I realized it would be better to split along the last space in the string and add a line break there, but I am confused how to do this.
My current code is this:
textStr = "123456789 01234567890 123456789012 34567890"
var splitStr
if(textstr.length > 32){
if(textstr.substring(1,32).includes(" ")){ //1,32 so it won't bug out if the first character is a space
//splitStr = textstr.something(test)
} else {
splitStr = textstr.match(/.{1,32}/g)
}
}
//canvas initialization blah blah blah
//load fonts yada yada yada
ctx.fillText(splitStr.join("\n"), 20, 55)
I was wondering if there was some sort of regex expression that I could use. Any help/feedback/common sense is appreciated
This solution is a bit complex and can due with some simplification. However it should get you mostly there.
const input = "123456789 01234567890 123456789012 34567890 11444444444 424124 1234124124121 4444444444444444444444444444444444444444444444444444444444444444444444";
const split = (value, width) => {
const stack = value.split(' ').reverse();
const results = [];
let builder = "";
while (stack.length > 0) {
const item = stack.pop();
if (item.length > width) { // is the current chunk already larger than our desired width?
if (builder !== "") { // we have to push our buffer too
results.push(builder);
builder = "";
}
results.push(item);
} else {
const line = builder === ""
? item
: `${builder} ${item}`;
if (line.length > width) { // is our new line greater than our width?
stack.push(item); // push the item back, since consuming it would make our line length too long. we let the next iteration consume it. results.push(builder); // push the buffer into our results.
builder = "";
} else if (stack.length === 0) { // is this the last element? just add it to the results.
results.push(line);
} else {
builder = line; // update our buffer to the current appended chunk.
}
}
}
return results;
};
split(input, 32).forEach((c) => console.log(c, c.length));
split(input, 32).join("\n");
