Like one styled by [`chalk`](https://github.com/chalk/chalk). #### columns Type: `number` Number of columns to wrap the text to. #### options Type: `Object` ##### hard Type: `boolean`<br> Default: `false` By default the wrap is soft, meaning long words may extend past the column width. Setting this to `true` will make it hard wrap at the column width. ##### wordWrap Type: `boolean`<br> Default: `true` By default, an attempt is made to split words at spaces, ensuring that they don't extend past the configured columns. If wordWrap is `false`, each column will instead be completely filled splitting words as necessary. ##### trim Type: `boolean`<br> Default: `true` Whitespace on all lines is removed by default. Set this option to `false` if you don't want to trim. ## Related - [slice-ansi](https://github.com/chalk/slice-ansi) - Slice a string with ANSI escape codes - [cli-truncate](https://github.com/sindresorhus/cli-truncate) - Truncate a string to a specific width in the terminal - [chalk](https://github.com/chalk/chalk) - Terminal string styling done right - [jsesc](https://github.com/mathiasbynens/jsesc) - Generate ASCII-only output from Unicode strings.
