Read More Text

JavaScript module for adding a read more link to text. Supports multiple read more links on the same page. Built with accessibility in mind, works on screen readers and degrades gracefully if JavaScript is turned off.

Instructions

Browserify

var ReadMore = require('read-more-text')
var readMore = new ReadMore('#more')

Customisable options

var readMore = new ReadMore('#more', {
	openText: 'Read more...', // Opening button text
	closeText: 'Show less...', // Closing button text
	speed: '1' // Transition speed in seconds
})

Browser Usage

1. Add Markup

   <div id="more">
   	<!-- Hidden text -->
   </div>
   

2. Link JavaScript and trigger script

   <!-- Put this right before the </body> closing tag -->
   <script src="read-more-text.js"></script>
   <script>
   	var readMore = new ReadMore('#more')
   </script>
