Limit the text in table column with the help of limit() and words() function.

[devRonak]

I am trying to limit the table content with the limit function and words function, But also I used an html() function with that. it is not worked with limit(50) and words(10) not worked with html(). Does anyone know how can i achieve this with html() function?

My code:-

TextColumn::make('change_log')->words('10')->html()

I think limit() words() and html() are not compatible with each other (they're all presets for formatStateUsing). Have a look, maybe you can make your own combination:

TextColumn::make('change_log')->render(function ($value) {
    $truncatedValue = Str::limit($value, 10);
    return "<span title='{$value}'>{$truncatedValue}</span>";
})

I got the below answer from Discord.

=>Because it could truncate the text causing the cutoff of closing html tags which would result in breaking the entire page.

Try this :

TextColumn::make('change_log')
    ->formatStateUsing(function ($state) {
        $truncatedValue = Str::limit($state, 10);
        return new HtmlString("<span title='{$state}'>{$truncatedValue}</span>");
    })

Hey, @pboivin
Thank you for your response.
Right now the code doesn't work 100%. The code currently only works when there is no HTML in the text.
For example when I used <ul></ul> that time this code is not worked for me.
Thank You

FYI. This works for me with limit()

use only

->limit(10)

Is there a way to apply it on the description as well ?

TextColumn::make('category')
                    ->description(fn (Ticket $record) => new HtmlString($record->issue))
                    ->limit(30)
                    ->lineClamp(2),

[boumaane]

in the same way suggested above :

TextColumn::make('category')
                    ->description(function (Ticket $record){ 
                        $truncatedValue = Str::limit($record->issue, 30);
                        return new HtmlString("<span title='{$record->issue}'>{$truncatedValue}</span>");
                    })
                    ->lineClamp(2),
