jQuery Plugin To Truncate Long Text By Word - motrim

motrim is a lightweight jQuery text truncating plugin which enables you to cut off long text by word or character, similar to the CSS text-overflow: ellipsis property.

Features:

• Adds a custom text overflow ellipsis to the end of the truncated text.
• Also allows you to cut off long text according to a specified width.

Basic usage:

1. Include jQuery library and the jQuery motrim plugin on the webpage as usual.

<script src="//code.jquery.com/jquery-1.11.3.min.js"></script>
<script src="jquery.motrim.js"></script>

2. Wrap your long text into a container.

<div class="text-box">
  Text Here
</div>

3. Cut off the text by character.

$('.text-box').motrim({cut_by: 'char'});

4. Cut off the text by word.

$('.text-box').motrim({cut_by: 'word'});

5. Change the default text overflow ellipsis.

$('.text-box').motrim({
  cut_by: 'word',
  ellipsis: '+++' // default: '...'
});

6. Specify the width to trigger the text trucating.

$('.text-box').motrim({
  cut_by: 'word',
  ellipsis: '+++',
  width: '300px' // default: 400px
});
