The text to be shortened.
The maximum length of the shortened text.
The shortened text with an ellipsis if it exceeds the maximum length, or the original text.
// Example 1: Shortening a long text
const longText = "This is a very long text that needs to be shortened.";
const shortenedText = shortenArbitraryText(longText, 20);
console.log(shortenedText); // "This is a very long..."
// Example 2: Text within the maximum length
const shortText = "Short text";
const result = shortenArbitraryText(shortText, 20);
console.log(result); // "Short text"
// Example 3: Edge case with exact length
const exactLengthText = "Exact length text";
const exactResult = shortenArbitraryText(exactLengthText, 17);
console.log(exactResult); // "Exact length text"
Shortens an arbitrary text to a specified length.
This function truncates the given text to the specified length and appends an ellipsis (
...) if the text exceeds the maximum length. If the text length is less than or equal to the specified length, it returns the original text.
