JavaScript Intl Segmenter() Constructor is used for creating Intl.Segmenter object. This constructor is created using the new keyword. If we create the constructor without the new keyword it will give a TypeError.
Syntax:
new Intl.Segmenter(loc, opt)
Parameters: It has two parameters both are optional.
- loc: It is a String or an array of Strings that contains the general form and interpretation of arguments
- opt: It is an object which contains properties like localeMatcher and granularity.
Return Value: An Intl.Segmenter object
Below examples illustrate the JavaScript Intl Segmenter() Constructor:
Example 1: This example creates a basic segmenter object and uses it to segment a sentence
Javascript
const format = new Intl.Segmenter("en", {granularity:"word"}) Â Â var sen = "Welcome to neveropen"; var iter = format.segment(sen)[Symbol.iterator](); Â Â for(var i = 0; i<5;i++) { Â Â Â Â console.log(iter.next().value) } |
Output: The blank line in the output represents the space between the words
Welcome to neveropen
Example 2: This example uses the Segmenter object to segment the sentence into individual letters.
Javascript
const format = new Intl.Segmenter("en", {granularity:"grapheme"}) Â Â var sen = "Geeks"; var iter = format.segment(sen)[Symbol.iterator](); Â Â for(var i = 0; i<5;i++) { Â Â Â Â console.log(iter.next().value.segment) } |
Output:
G e e k s
