API

Function signature:

function sqrup(text, options)

With TypeScript types:

function sqrup(text: string | string[], options: string | sqrup.SquareUpOptions): string
type SquareUpOptions = {
  default?: string;
  // Sides
  left?: string;
  right?: string;
  top?: string;
  bottom?: string;
  // Corners
  topLeft?: string;
  topRight?: string;
  bottomLeft?: string;
  bottomRight?: string;
  // Pad
  padLeft?: number;
  padRight?: number;
  padBottom?: number;
  padTop?: number;
}

Or you can just take a look at the included index.d.ts file.

Examples

1. Use custom character

(Instead of the default asterisk *)

sqrup('One,\nTwo,\nThree.', 'x');
xxxxxxxxxxxx
x  One,    x
x  Two,    x
x  Three.  x
xxxxxxxxxxxx

2. Control the padding between the text and the square

sqrup('WELCOME\n HOME', {
                   // defaults:
    default: 'o',  // '*'
    padLeft: 8,    // 2
    padRight: 8,   // 2
    padTop: 2,     // 0
    padBottom: 2,  // 0
});
ooooooooooooooooooooooooo
o                       o
o                       o
o        WELCOME        o
o         HOME          o
o                       o
o                       o
ooooooooooooooooooooooooo

3. Fine grained customization

sqrup('Look Ma,\n I\'m in a box!', {
  // default:  ...,
  // The `default` option does nothing in this specific scenario
  // since all of the edge charactrers are specified individually
  // in the options at the bottom.
 
  // Pad
  padLeft: 8,
  padRight: 2,
  padBottom: 0,
  padTop: 2,
 
  // All of the following options use the character specifeid
  // in the `defeault` if not given any value:
 
  // Sides
  left: '',
  right: '',
  top: '',
  bottom: '',
  // Corners
  topLeft: '',
  topRight: '',
  bottomLeft: '',
  bottomRight: '',
});
