Class: SentenceSplitter
SentenceSplitter is our default text splitter that supports splitting into sentences, paragraphs, or fixed length chunks with overlap.
One of the advantages of SentenceSplitter is that even in the fixed length chunks it will try to keep sentences together.

processSentenceSplits()
private
processSentenceSplits(sentenceSplits
,effectiveChunkSize
):SplitRep
[]
Splits sentences into chunks if necessary.
This isn't great behavior because it can split down the middle of a word or in non-English split down the middle of a Unicode codepoint so the splitting is turned off by default. If you need it, please set the splitLongSentences option to true.
Parameters
• sentenceSplits: string
