JavaScript Intl Segementer() Constructor

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"})

var sen = "Welcome to GeeksforGeeks";
var iter = format.segment(sen)[Symbol.iterator]();

for(var i = 0; i<5;i++) {
    console.log(iter.next().value)
}

Output: The blank line in the output represents the space between the words

Welcome

GeeksforGeeks

Example 2: This example uses the Segmenter object to segment the sentence into individual letters.

Javascript

const format = new Intl.Segmenter("en", {granularity:"grapheme"})

var sen = "Geeks";
var iter = format.segment(sen)[Symbol.iterator]();

for(var i = 0; i<5;i++) {
    console.log(iter.next().value.segment)
}
