jquery.ellipsis
What is this?
.ellipsis() adds a class to the last 'allowed' line of text so you can apply text-overflow: ellipsis;. You
can view a demo on codepen.io.
How do I use it?
Add the following CSS to your stylesheet:
.ellip {
display: block;
height: 100%;
}
.ellip-line {
display: inline-block;
text-overflow: ellipsis;
white-space: nowrap;
word-wrap: normal;
max-width: 100%;
}
.ellip,
.ellip-line {
position: relative;
overflow: hidden;
}
And then initialise the plugin:
$('.foo').ellipsis();
You can customise with the following options:
$('.foo').ellipsis({
lines: 3, // force ellipsis after a certain number of lines. Default is 'auto'
ellipClass: 'ellip', // class used for ellipsis wrapper and to namespace ellip line
responsive: true // set to true if you want ellipsis to update on window resize. Default is false
});
