Truncate
KTruncate - a container that limits content to a specific number of lines and provides controls to show or hide the hidden items.
<template>
<KTruncate>
<KBadge v-for="n in 25" :key="n">
Item {{ n }}
</KBadge>
</KTruncate>
</template>Props
rows
Number of rows to truncate content. Default value is 1.
<template>
<KTruncate :rows="2">
<KBadge v-for="n in 25" :key="n">
Item {{ n }}
</KBadge>
</KTruncate>
</template>truncateText
By default the component treats anything passed through the default slot as collection of HTML elements. Use this prop if you want to truncate elements that only contain text, such as one or more paragraph <p> tags.
When this prop is set to true, the component applies different logic; truncation is achieved via the -webkit-line-clamp CSS property, rather than assessing the height of child elements to determine the row height.
A good design decision to apply text truncation would be when displaying a large amount of textual content, such as a list of articles or product descriptions, in a limited space, such as a mobile screen or a small widget. By truncating the text to a short summary, it is possible to present the information in a more organized and readable manner, allowing the user to quickly scan and understand the main points of each item.
The truncated text can also serve as a teaser, encouraging the user to click or tap to view the full content.

</KTruncate>
</template>expanded
When true, the component will not truncate the content and the collapse trigger will be visible.
<template>
<KTruncate expanded>
<KBadge v-for="n in 25" :key="n">
Item {{ n }}
</KBadge>
</KTruncate>
</template>width
Width of container element that wraps content passed through the default slot. Works just like width property in CSS. Default value is 100%.

</KTruncate>
</template>Slots
default
The content to truncate.
Note: when using KTruncate for truncating collection of HTML elements (not text), to ensure the best experience with the component, please pass elements of equal height in the default slot. The component will base its guess for the height of the element on the height of each individual sibling, so passing elements of equal height will result in a more accurate and consistent output.
TIP
The component is reactive to its dimensions changes. To see this in action, try resizing the container below.
expand-trigger
Slot for a custom expand trigger element. Slot props:
truncatedCount(type:Number) - Number of elements that overflow. Note: this slot prop is only available when nottruncateTextexpand(type:Function) - Function to expand
collapse-trigger
Slot for a custom collapse trigger element. Slot props:
collapse(type:Function) - Function to collapse
Example of using the expand-trigger and collapse-trigger slots for creating custom toggle elements:
<template>
<KTruncate>
<KBadge v-for="n in 25" :key="n">
Item {{ n }}
</KBadge>
<template #expand-trigger="{ truncatedCount, expand }">
<button @click="expand">Show {{ truncatedCount }} more</button>
</template>
<template #collapse-trigger="{ collapse }">
<button @click="collapse">Show less</button>
</template>
</KTruncate>
