# string-length
> Get the real length of a string - by correctly counting astral symbols and ignoring [ansi escape codes](https://github.com/sindresorhus/strip-ansi)
`String#length` erroneously counts [astral symbols](https://web.archive.org/web/20150721114550/http://www.tlg.uci.edu/~opoudjis/unicode/unicode_astral.html) as two characters.
## Install
```
$ npm install string-length
```
## Usage
```js
const stringLength = require('string-length');
'🐴'.length;
//=> 2
stringLength('🐴');
//=> 1
stringLength('\u001B[1municorn\u001B[22m');
//=> 7
```
