truncate-utf8-bytes 


Truncate a string to the given length in bytes. Correctly handles
multi-byte characters and surrogate pairs.

A browser implementation that doesn't use Buffer.byteLength is
provided to minimize build size.


Example

var truncate = require("truncate-utf8-bytes")
var str = "a☃" // a = 1 byte, ☃ = 3 bytes
console.log(truncate(str, 2))
// -> "a"


API


var truncate = require("truncate-utf8-bytes")


When using browserify or webpack, this automatically resolves to an
implementation that does not use Buffer.byteLength.


truncate(string, length)


Returns string truncated to at most length bytes in length.
