Ever tried to manipulate a string containing weird Unicode characters (emojis, CJK, etc) or the ANSI escape sequences used to make console output colorized? It can be a real pain. This package is my attempt to make that easier. By building a comprehensive AST, it becomes possible to preform declarative operations on ANSI/Unicode strings as if they were just ASCII.
npm install string-astimport parse from 'string-ast';
import chalk from 'chalk';
const str = `normal ${chalk.bold('bold')} ${chalk.red(`red ${chalk.bold('both')}`)}`;
console.log(parse(str));
