React Middle Ellipsis

Check out the demo.

Adding ellipses to the end of long text is cool. But not always! Sometimes the
end of the text contains vital information, particularly for URLs or filenames.

This React component is designed with that use case in mind.

Install

``bash yarn add react-middle-ellipsis`

`Usage`

Once imported, you can then wrap any node with . This will compute the width of the surrounding parent node. Then, it will look for the child node (so make sure to add aspanat minimum internally): it will use this element to compute the width of the child, and then shorten the text element whose class isellipseMe (optional) to fit within the parent.

The component re-computes things if the browser window is resized, too!

`jsx import React from "react"; import MiddleEllipsis from "react-middle-ellipsis";

const Component = props => { return ( <>


      
        
          I am some long text that should be ellipsed in the middle because
          the end contains important stuff.


    
      
        
          Don't ellipse me.{" "}
          
            I am some long text that should be ellipsed in the middle because
            the end contains important stuff.
          
        
      
    

  <>
  );
};

export default Component;`
