vue-truncate-list

A flexible Vue 2 & Vue 3 component for truncating lists with custom truncator rendering. Designed for both mobile and desktop platforms.

Features

• Automatic truncation: Dynamically hides overflowing list items.
• Custom truncator: Render your own truncator UI (e.g., "+3 more", "Show all").
• Responsive: Works on both mobile and desktop layouts.
• Expandable: Supports expandable/collapsible lists.

Demo

See Live Demo or src/App.vue for usage examples.

Installation

npm install @twheeljs/vue-truncate-list
# or
yarn add @twheeljs/vue-truncate-list

Usage

Basic Example

<template>
  <TruncateList
    :renderTruncator="({ hiddenItemsCount }) => h('div', { class: 'listItem' }, `+${hiddenItemsCount}`)"
  >
    <div class="listItem">Item 1</div>
    <div class="listItem">Item 2</div>
    <div class="listItem">Item 3</div>
    <!-- ... -->
  </TruncateList>
</template>

<script>
import { h } from 'vue'
import TruncateList from './components/TruncateList'

export default {
  components: {
    TruncateList
  }
}
</script>

Note: In this case, setting the 'expanded' class sets max-height to none, but the container's height does not update immediately. This means ResizeObserver will not trigger. Therefore, we need to manually call truncate() in nextTick to ensure the layout is recalculated.
