Check whether a string contains any Chinese text

Short sample

const containsChinese = require('contains-chinese');

let t = containsChinese('香港 is cool'); // true
let f = containsChinese('홍콩'); // false - not Chinese

What's it for?

This package provides a way to check whether a string contains any Chinese text. The function will return true if there is at least one Chinese character in the string.

Difference from `is-chinese`

Another package called is-chinese will return false if the string contains at least one non-Chinese character, for example Welcome to 香港 will result in false.

In contrast, this package will return true for such text containing mixed Chinese and non-Chinese text.

Methods and Static Members

containsChinese - returns true if the string has any Chinese characters.
