Show only first two rows from a paragraph

Question

I need to display some text on two lines, and add some \"...\" if the text is too long.

Example :

This is some long text and we need to show it on only two         


        

Answer 1

You can do a slice and embed it along with the dots while rendering, and play around with the css width to make it two lined.

.js file

var text = "Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipiscing elit, sed do eiusmod tempor"

.ejs file

    <%= text.slice(0,30)+" ..." %>
