Arguments
-

- 
opts: optional, objectOptions to change behavior, see below. 
Options
- 
opts.align: string, default'center'The alignment mode. Use 'center'for center-alignment,'right'for right-alignment, or'left'for left-alignment. Note that the giventextis assumed to be left-aligned already, so specifyingalign: 'left'just returns thetextas is (no-op).
- 
opts.split: string or RegExp, default'\n'The separator to use when splitting the text. Only used if text is given as a string. 
- 
opts.pad: string, default' 'The value used to left-pad (prepend to) lines of lesser width. Will be repeated as necessary to adjust alignment to the line with the greatest width.

Similar Packages
- center-align: Very close to this package, except it doesn't support ANSI codes.
- left-pad: Great for left-padding but does not support center alignment or ANSI codes.
