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 🙏

React-dotdotdot

Cross-browser multiline text ellipsis for react

Inspired by: https://github.com/BeSite/jQuery.dotdotdot

Internally uses: https://www.npmjs.com/package/clamp-js

Installation

npm install --save react-dotdotdot

Sample usage

import React from 'react'
import Dotdotdot from 'react-dotdotdot'

...

render() {
	return (
		<div>
			<Dotdotdot clamp={3}>
				<p>
					Long, long <br />
					content,<br />
					3 lines <br />
					will be shown.
				</p>
			</Dotdotdot>
		</div>
	)
}

Dotdotdot props:

clamp (Number | String | 'auto'). This controls where and when to clamp the text of an element. Submitting a number controls the number of lines that should be displayed. Second, you can submit a CSS value (in px or em) that controls the height of the element as a String. Finally, you can submit the word 'auto' as a string. Auto will try to fill up the available space with the content and then automatically clamp once content no longer fits. This last option should only be set if a static height is being set on the element elsewhere (such as through CSS) otherwise no clamping will be done.

useNativeClamp: [default: true] Use -webkit-line-clamp available in Webkit (Chrome, Safari) only.

splitOnChars: [default: ['.', '-', '–', '—', ' ']] Split on sentences (periods), hypens, en-dashes, em-dashes, and words (spaces).

animate: [default: false] animated clamp

truncationChar: The character to insert at the end of the HTML element after truncation is performed. This defaults to an ellipsis (…). useNativeClamp overrides it to default.

truncationHTML: String of HTML to use instead of truncationChar

tagName: [default: div] (String). The type of HTML tag which will wrap the component's content.

Notes

React-dotdotdot is simple plugin, if you need more functionality, consider using react-truncate https://www.npmjs.com/package/react-truncate

Known issues:

  • react-dotdotdot does not work with text containers with nested markup.
  • padding-bottom CSS rule breaks clamp
  • line-height units might be important for React-dotdotdot. We recommend px over em
