Unicode::DisplayWidth for mruby!

Determines the monospace display width of a string in Ruby. Implementation inspired by unicode-display_width and based on http://www.cl.cam.ac.uk/~mgk25/ucs/wcwidth.c from the University of Cambridge.

Installation

Add the line below to your build_config.rb:

MRuby::Build.new do |conf|
  # ... (snip) ...
  conf.gem 'mruby-unicode-display_width'
end

Or add this line to your aplication's mrbgem.rake:

MRuby::Gem::Specification.new('your-mrbgem') do |spec|
  # ... (snip) ...
  spec.add_dependency 'mruby-unicode-display_width'
end

Usage

The interace follows unicode-display_width. However custom overwrites nor the 2nd parameter for ambiguous values aren't supported.

Unicode::DisplayWidth.of("⚀") # => 1
Unicode::DisplayWidth.of("一") # => 2

With String Extension:

'⚀'.display_width #=> 1
'一'.display_width #=> 2
