html-ellipsis

html-ellipsis

Truncates a html string without messing up HTML tags

Example

var ellipsis = require('html-ellipsis');
var text = 'Lorem <span class="ipsum"><b>ips<i>um</i></b></span>';
console.log(ellipsis(text), 11, true); // Lorem <span class="ipsum"><b>ips<i>u</i></b></span>&hellip;

Install

UMD is supported so you can use whatever you want to load the script.

Node/Browserify

Install it first

npm install --save html-ellipsis

Then use it like so

var ellipsis = require('html-ellipsis');
ellipsis(someHtml);

AMD

Place it next to your other scripts and require html-ellipsis as a dependancy.

require(['html-ellipsis'], function(ellipsis) {
	ellipsis(someHtml);
});

Global variable

Just drop the script inside your HTML page and use the global htmlEllipsis function, but you should really consider using a module loader.

<script src="html-ellipsis.js"></script>
<script>
	htmlEllipsis(someHtml);
</script>
