如果你想用css而不是JavaScript;

.textShortDesc { /*Here we have determined the max number of lines.*/
    display: block; /* or inline-block */
    -o-text-overflow: ellipsis; /* Opera < 11*/
    text-overflow: ellipsis; /* IE, Safari (WebKit), Opera >= 11, FF > 6 */
    word-wrap: break-word;
    overflow: hidden;
    max-height: 2em; /*max-height/line-height=rowCount */
    line-height: 1em;
}

聪明的地方:D

//My Huge Huge String let tooHugeToHandle = `It is a long established fact that a reader will be distracted by the readable content of a page when looking at its layout. The point of using Lorem Ipsum is that it has a more-or-less normal distribution of letters, as opposed to using 'Content here, content here', making it look like readable English. Many desktop publishing packages and web page editors now use Lorem Ipsum as their default model text, and a search for 'lorem ipsum' will uncover many web sites still in their infancy. Various versions have evolved over the years, sometimes by accident, sometimes on purpose (injected humour and the like).` //Trim Max Length const maxValue = 50 // The barber. const TrimMyString = (string, maxLength, start = 0) => { //Note - `start` is if I want to start after some point of the string if (string.length > maxLength) { let trimmedString = string.substr(start, maxLength) return ( trimmedString.substr( start, Math.min(trimmedString.length, trimmedString.lastIndexOf(' ')) ) + ' ...' ) } return string } console.log(TrimMyString(tooHugeToHandle, maxValue))

以下是我的解决方案，与其他建议相比有一些改进:

String.prototype.truncate = function(){
    var re = this.match(/^.{0,25}[\S]*/);
    var l = re[0].length;
    var re = re[0].replace(/\s$/,'');
    if(l < this.length)
        re = re + "&hellip;";
    return re;
}

// "This is a short string".truncate();
"This is a short string"

// "Thisstringismuchlongerthan25characters".truncate();
"Thisstringismuchlongerthan25characters"

// "This string is much longer than 25 characters and has spaces".truncate();
"This string is much longer&hellip;"

It:

在25之后的第一个空格上截断 字符 扩展JavaScript字符串对象， 因此它可以用于(并链接到) 任何字符串。 如果截断将修剪字符串 结果在一个尾随空间中; 是否添加unicode hellip实体 (省略号)如果截断的字符串长于25个字符

修正Kooilnc的解决方案:

String.prototype.trunc = String.prototype.trunc ||
  function(n){
      return this.length>n ? this.substr(0,n-1)+'…' : this.toString();
  };

如果不需要截断string对象，则返回string值而不是string对象。

人们希望用JavaScript而不是CSS来实现这一点是有充分理由的。

在JavaScript中截断为8个字符(包括省略号):

short = long.replace(/(.{7})..+/, "$1…");

or

short = long.replace(/(.{7})..+/, "$1…");
