how to use the truncate function from lodash in javascript

To use the truncate function from lodash, first, we need to install the lodash package in our project. We can install it via npm using the following command:

index.tsx
npm install lodash
19 chars
2 lines

Once we have installed the lodash package, we can use the truncate function in our code by importing it from lodash.

Here's an example of how to use the truncate function to truncate a string to a specified length:

index.tsx
const _ = require('lodash');

const str = 'Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipiscing elit.';

const truncatedStr = _.truncate(str, {
  length: 20,
  omission: '...'
});

console.log(truncatedStr);
// Output: "Lorem ipsum dolor..."
240 chars
12 lines

In the above example, we passed the str variable to the truncate function along with an options object, which specifies the desired length and the omission text to be added at the end of the truncated string.

The truncate function returns the truncated string as per the provided options. We then log the result to the console.

That's how you can use the truncate function from lodash in JavaScript.
