Locale-aware string splitting
In Javascript, the [intl](https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/JavaScript/Reference/Global_Objects/Intl) object provides several locale-aware tools to work with in Javascript. One of those tools is the [segmenter](https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/JavaScript/Reference/Global_Objects/Intl/Segmenter) object. The segmenter object enables locale-aware segmentation from a string with selectable granularity (grapheme, word and sentence). a grapheme is a single character, regardless of how many codepoints it takes to display it. "🫵" is one grapheme, so is a space " " Words and sentences are self-explanatory. We first create a segmenter object with two parameters: A valid language code and the granularity that we want to use. For this example, we're using `word` as the granularity. ```js const segmenterEs = new Intl.Segmenter( 'es', { granularity: 'word' }); ``` Next, we use the segmenter to create a list of all the segments and assign them to a constant that we'll use to do something with the segments. ```js const segments = segmenterEs.segment( "Me gustas cuando callas porque estás como ausente" ); ``` Finally, we do something with the segments. In this case, I chose to use [array of](https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/JavaScript/Reference/Statements/for...of) to loop through the segments and log them to the console. ```js for (const segment of segments) { console.log(segment.segment); } ``` It should be just as easy to append the segments to an existing element or search the segments for a given string.
