Multiline Text ellipsis component

Hide description content (not just single line, but multiline)

image

Requirements:

  • add story with different examples
    • different amount of lines
    • different amount of words
    • maybe different orientation (Left to right / right to left)?
  • Use only CSS if possible. (Multiline css is a bit complicated, use a pre-existing node module (maybe https://reactjsexample.com/cross-browser-multiline-text-ellipsis-for-react/ ?) or something proven to work in all browsers with least amount of javascript)

Needed props:

  • description: Text with possibly very long content
  • locShowMore: localized "show more" string, which should be passed from outside (do not hardcode values!)
  • (optional): how many lines should be allowed
  • (optional): expansion handler

Functionality:

  • If description text has many characters/words, have a way to set text ellipsis on multiple lines. Show only x amount of words or characters on default render
  • Allow to show whole description on clicking or touching "Show more" text.
