[![Build Status](https://github.com/aetf/unicode-truncate/actions/workflows/rust.yml/badge.svg)](https://github.com/Aetf/unicode-truncate/actions)
## Examples
Safely truncate string to display width even not at character boundaries.
```rust
use unicode_truncate::UnicodeTruncateStr;
fn main() {
assert_eq!("你好吗".unicode_truncate(5), ("你好", 4));
}
```
Making sure the string is displayed in exactly number of columns by combining padding and
truncating.
```rust
use unicode_truncate::UnicodeTruncateStr;
use unicode_truncate::Alignment;
use unicode_width::UnicodeWidthStr;
fn main() {
let str = "你好吗".unicode_pad(5, Alignment::Left, true);
assert_eq!(str, "你好 ");
assert_eq!(str.width(), 5);
}
```
## Features
`unicode-truncate` can be built without `std` by disabling the default feature `std`. However, in
that case `unicode_truncate::UnicodeTruncateStr::unicode_pad` won't be available because it depends
on `std::string::String` and `std::borrow::Cow`.
