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
| Parameter | Type | Default value | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
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. |
Returns
string
The trailing character slice, optionally suffixed with an ellipsis.
Example
lastNChars("Hello world", 5);
// "world..."
