lastNChars

Import from @varavel/vdl-plugin-sdk/utils/strings.

function lastNChars(
   str, 
   n, 
   ellipsis?): string;

Returns the last n characters from a string.

When truncation happens, an ellipsis is appended by default so generated labels and previews can communicate that the returned segment is partial.

Non-positive and non-finite lengths return an empty string.

Parameters

`str`	`string`	`undefined`	Source string to shorten.
`n`	`number`	`undefined`	Maximum number of trailing characters to keep.
`ellipsis`	`boolean`	`true`	When `true`, appends `...` if truncation occurs.

string

The trailing character slice, optionally suffixed with an ellipsis.
