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

大多数现代Javascript框架(JQuery, Prototype等)都有一个附加在String上的实用函数来处理这个问题。

下面是Prototype中的一个例子:

'Some random text'.truncate(10);
// -> 'Some ra...'

这似乎是您希望其他人处理/维护的功能之一。我会让框架来处理它，而不是编写更多的代码。

我对Kooilnc的解决方案投了赞成票。非常好的紧凑解决方案。有一个小的边缘情况，我想解决。如果有人出于某种原因输入了一个很长的字符序列，它不会被截断:

function truncate(str, n, useWordBoundary) {
    var singular, tooLong = str.length > n;
    useWordBoundary = useWordBoundary || true;

    // Edge case where someone enters a ridiculously long string.
    str = tooLong ? str.substr(0, n-1) : str;

    singular = (str.search(/\s/) === -1) ? true : false;
    if(!singular) {
      str = useWordBoundary && tooLong ? str.substr(0, str.lastIndexOf(' ')) : str;
    }

    return  tooLong ? str + '…' : str;
}

所有现代浏览器现在都支持一个简单的CSS解决方案，当一行文本超过可用宽度时自动添加省略号:

p {
    white-space: nowrap;
    overflow: hidden;
    text-overflow: ellipsis;
}

(请注意，这需要以某种方式限制元素的宽度，以便产生任何效果。)

基于https://css-tricks.com/snippets/css/truncate-string-with-ellipsis/。

应该注意的是，这种方法并不基于字符的数量进行限制。如果需要允许多行文本，它也不能工作。

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.
