This package is no longer maintained, use ellipsize
npm install trunky
var truncate = require('trunky').truncateWithEllipsis;
truncate('Hello world', 8); // Hello…
truncate('<b>Hello</b> world', 8); // Hello…
Note: the unicode character …
(\u2026
) is used by default. If your application does not support unicode or you would prefer a different ellipsis character, truncate()
takes an optional third argument which is the string to use:
truncate('Hello world', 8, '...'); // Hello...
truncate('Hello world', 8, ' etc.'); // Hello etc.
