Limit string by number of words

[omundy]

Is there a way to limit a string by the number of words? I tried a few ways to get at it.

Str("To be or not to be").words().limit(3).get()

I'm doing it right now with:

Str(text).words().slice(0,5).join(" ") + "...

@omundy Hey Owen, the words method returns a JavaScript array of strings. You're doing it right by slicing the number of words from the array 👍

I could also just do this without the library:

text.split(" ").slice(0,5).join(" ") + "..."

Perhaps something like this would be an acceptable addition?

text.truncate(5, "...").get()
