Demo

Usage

This package needs to be initialized using the following:

await initHyphenation();

This will load the hyphenation algorithm. You can skip this step if you manually initialized the hyphenation algorithm yourself.

Then it can be used as a drop in replacement for normal text. So

Text("abc");

becomes

AutoHyphenatingText("abc");
