API — split()
The main function split() is imported like this:
It’s a function which takes two input arguments:
| Input argument | Type | Obligatory | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
strType: String Obligatory: yes | |||

The Optional Options Object has the following shape:
| Key | Type | Default | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
throwIfEdgeWhitespaceType: Boolean Default: true | |||
throwIfEdgeWhitespace | Boolean | true | Optionally, you can disable throwing when there is a trailing whitespace detected. |
The function will return a number, a string index. It is a suggestion where exactly to slice the str in two parts.

How different is it from the Bionic Reading®?
This program is not affiliated with Bionic Reading® in any way.
For starters, an aforementioned commercial product is a set of different APIs and services which use closed-source, commercial and very advanced algorithms to format text in various ways.
On the other hand, the humble string-bionic-split processes one word at a time; it only suggests an index position, where to cut it into two pieces.
