ranges-crop^2.1.3

Crop array of ranges when they go beyond the reference string's length

Install globally, via npm

npm i ranges-crop

The default is exported, so instead of "crop" below, you can name the consumed function however you want.

Consume via a require():

const crop = require("ranges-crop");

or as an ES Module:

import crop from "ranges-crop";

Install as a script, via CDN

Put this in your HTML:

<script src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/npm/ranges-crop/dist/ranges-crop.umd.js">

Then, you’ll get a global variable rangesCrop in your Global object and you consume it like this:

const crop = rangesCrop;

This crop is your main function. See its API in the main section.
