Does Volt have a function or filter for doing a truncation, with an optional appended character? Where the appended character would only be appended if the original string was longer than the desired truncate length?
For example:
{{ truncate('This is a long string',7,'...') }}renders as This is...
Whereas
{{ truncate('Short',7,'...') }}renders as Short
I couldn't readily find something like this in the documentation.
Turns out it's relatively simple to do:
$Compiler->addFunction('truncate',function($resolvedArgs,$expArgs) use ($Compiler){
$string = $Compiler->expression($expArgs[0]['expr']);
$length = $Compiler->expression($expArgs[1]['expr']);
$append = (isset($expArgs[2])) ? $Compiler->expression($expArgs[2]['expr']) : '';
return "(strlen($string) < $length) ? substr($string,0,$length) : substr($string,0,$length).$append;";
});I'm still interested if there's built-in functionality for this.
Your solution looks like a good solution to me
