What is this?

Angular 15+ directive to truncate multi-line text to the visible height. Unlike most ellipsis components this may be used with HTML content also. The end of the visible text is appended with an ellipsis symbol …

Instalation

npm install ellipsis-angular

Add module import to your Angular application:

import { EllipsisAngularModule } from 'ellipsis-angular';
...

@NgModule({
  imports: [
    BrowserModule,
    ...
    
    EllipsisAngularModule
  ],

Start using directive:

<div ellipsis-angular>
...
</div>

Features

There are two options available for using ellipsis-angular.

1. Static content

You may use it with static content without any additional settings:

<div ellipsis-angular>
<!-- Static HTML content goes here ---> 
</div>

There will be ellipsis added if needed once component loads or a browser window resizes. But it will not react to any inner content change.

2. Dynamic content

You may provide [innerHTML] parameter if you want ellipsis to react on inner HTML content change:

<div ellipsis-angular [innerHTML]="someHTMLStringVariable"></div>

This way ellipsis will render someHTMLStringVariable html content and will also react on its changes.
