use-truncate

use-truncate is a lightweight (no dependencies) and straightforward truncate function. It's inspired by cli-truncate. The main reason use-truncate exists is that I could not find any other way to truncate a string easily in react. The other reason is that I wanted a package that supports both ESM and CJS.

Installation

• Npm : npm i use-truncate
• Yarn : yarn add use-truncate
• Pnpm : pnpm add use-truncate

Usage

The most common use case is to truncate a string to a certain length :

const truncatedValue = useTruncate("This string is too long I guess", {
  maxLength: 10,
});

Options

• maxLength: The maximum length of the string.
• ellipsis: The string to use as ellipsis.

ESM or CJS

• ESM : /dist/esm/index.js
• CJS : /dist/cjs/index.js

Tests

Tests can be run using Jest. There is a test script inside the package.json, feel free to use your favorite package manager to run it (npm run test, yarn test, pnpm test).
