API Stability TypeScript Styled with prettier Build status Test Coverage NPM Version Downloads Browser Bundle Size

Calculate the real byte length of any string.

Why

In node many will use Buffer.byteLength, however including the entire buffer shim in the browser just for getting the byte length of a string is not very conservative.

Installation

npm install byte-length

Example

import { byteLength } from "byte-length";

byteLength("hello"); //-> 5
byteLength("😀"); //-> 4
byteLength("fullwidth characters"); //-> 60
