SMS Segment Calculator

The SMS Segment Calculator is a Dart package designed to help developers accurately calculate the number of SMS segments required for messages. It supports both GSM-7 and UCS-2 encoding standards, providing a robust solution for applications that involve SMS messaging. The package ensures cost-effective messaging by optimizing message segmentation and encoding.

Key Features

• Accurate SMS Segmentation: Automatically calculates the number of segments needed for a given SMS message based on its content and required encoding (GSM-7 or UCS-2).
• Support for Special Characters and Emojis: Detects texts containing emojis or special characters and switches to UCS-2 encoding when necessary.
• Comprehensive Encoding Management: Handles the encoding of individual characters and manages their conversion to the appropriate encoding format.
• Cost Management: Provides precise segment counts for budgeting and planning SMS costs effectively.
• Line Break Handling: Identifies different line break styles and issues warnings if incompatible styles are detected.

Installation

To integrate the SMS Segment Calculator into your Dart or Flutter project, add the following dependency to your pubspec.yaml file:

dependencies:
  sms_segment_calculator: ^0.1.0



## Usage

import 'package:sms_segment_calculator/sms_segment_calculator.dart';

void main() {
  String message = '''Hi Roberta,
It's Peter with Krown Funding touching base.
It's not too late to get funded before the weekend 🤑.
Reply Yes to Get Funded Today or DND to opt-out.''';

  // Initialize the SegmentedMessage class to calculate SMS segments.
  SegmentedMessage segmentedMessage = SegmentedMessage(message);

  // Output various properties of the segmented message.
  print("Total Size in Bits: ${segmentedMessage.totalSize}");
  print("Message Size in Bits: ${segmentedMessage.messageSize}");
  print("Segments Count: ${segmentedMessage.segmentsCount}");
  print("Number of Characters: ${segmentedMessage.numberOfCharacters}");
  print("Number of Unicode Scalars: ${segmentedMessage.numberOfUnicodeScalars}");
}
