CI NuGet Last updated

Truncate strings at word boundaries — no cut words, no ugly mid-word breaks.

Installation

dotnet add package Philiprehberger.SmartTruncate

Usage

using Philiprehberger.SmartTruncate;

// Basic truncation at word boundary
StringTruncator.Truncate("The quick brown fox jumped", 20);
// => "The quick brown..."

// Custom suffix
StringTruncator.Truncate("The quick brown fox jumped", 20, " [more]");
// => "The quick [more]"

// Text fits — returned as-is
StringTruncator.Truncate("Hello", 20);
// => "Hello"

// No word boundary found — hard truncate
StringTruncator.Truncate("superlongwordwithoutspaces", 10);
// => "superlo..."

Custom Suffix

using Philiprehberger.SmartTruncate;

StringTruncator.Truncate("Hello wonderful world", 15, " [more]");
// "Hello [more]"

Short Strings

using Philiprehberger.SmartTruncate;

StringTruncator.Truncate("Hi", 10);   // "Hi" — no truncation needed
StringTruncator.Truncate("Hello", 3); // "..." — suffix only when too short

API

StringTruncator

Method Description
Truncate(string text, int maxLength, string suffix = "...") Truncate at the last word boundary before maxLength; fall back to hard truncation if no space is found

Notes:

  • If text fits within maxLength, it is returned unchanged.
  • The returned string (including suffix) is always at most maxLength characters.
  • The suffix defaults to "...".
