Text Hyphenation Library

JSON →
library 1.14.1 ·javascript
verified Jun 17, 2026

The `hyphen` library provides robust text hyphenation capabilities in JavaScript, based on Franklin M. Liang's widely adopted hyphenation algorithm. It leverages pre-compiled hyphenation patterns sourced from ctan.org for various languages. Currently stable at version 1.14.1, the package is primarily feature-driven with an irregular release cadence. Key differentiators include its extensive language support via separate pattern imports (e.g., `hyphen/en`, `hyphen/de`), automatic skipping of HTML tags during hyphenation, and the provision of both asynchronous (`hyphenate`) and synchronous (`hyphenateSync`) functions to suit different application contexts. Users can configure hyphenation with options for exceptions, the soft hyphen character, and minimum word length for processing.
