Optimize Toolset

I’ve always been into building performant and accessible sites, but lately I’ve been taking it extremely seriously. So much so that I’ve been building a tool to help me optimize and monitor the sites that I build to make sure that I’m making an attempt to offer the best experience to those who visit them. If you’re into performant, accessible and SEO friendly sites, you might like it too! You can check it out at Optimize Toolset.

About

Hi, 👋, I’m Ryan Hefner  and I built this site for me, and you! The goal of this site was to provide an easy way for me to check the stats on my npm packages, both for prioritizing issues and updates, and to give me a little kick in the pants to keep up on stuff.

As I was building it, I realized that I was actually using the tool to build the tool, and figured I might as well put this out there and hopefully others will find it to be a fast and useful way to search and browse npm packages as I have.

If you’re interested in other things I’m working on, follow me on Twitter or check out the open source projects I’ve been publishing on GitHub.

I am also working on a Twitter bot for this site to tweet the most popular, newest, random packages from npm. Please follow that account now and it will start sending out packages soon–ish.

Open Software & Tools

This site wouldn’t be possible without the immense generosity and tireless efforts from the people who make contributions to the world and share their work via open source initiatives. Thank you 🙏

Readme

Clamps

Demo

There are already a lot of great text truncation options out there (for example, line-clamp, Clamp.js, Shave) but they are, for the most part, purely JavaScript solutions. In some situations, it would be handier to just have a fallback for the CSS. Web fonts on mobile devices can trip up even the best JS replacement but 90% of mobile browsers support -webkit-line-clamp natively (source). Changing the number of lines based on breakpoints or complex patterns can be tricky without using media queries or :nth-child. So this module is designed to mimic -webkit-line-clamp based on an element's height only in browsers that don't support it.

Installation

NPM

npm install clamps --save

Yarn

yarn add clamps

Script Tag

<script src="path/to/clamps.min.js"></script>

Usage

CSS + HTML

First, apply the -webkit-line-clamp styling for browsers with native support. Next, set the max-height or height which will be used to calculate the number of lines in browsers that ignore the -webkit-line-clamp property. For the best results, include a line-height as well.

<div class="line-clamp">
  ...
</div>
.line-clamp {
  display: -webkit-box;
  -webkit-line-clamp: 3;
  -webkit-box-orient: vertical;
  overflow: hidden;
  max-height: 60px;
  line-height: 20px;
}

JS

After importing the module (or adding the script tag), initialize with the elements to clamp.

var els = document.querySelectorAll('.line-clamp');
Clamps(els);

Notes

  • Since the goal is to copy -webkit-line-clamp behavior as closely as possible, this module doesn't accept any options for customization.
  • The line clamping does not update on resize. I leave it to the user to decide if that seems necessary on any given project.
