urodoz/truncateHTML
===================

[](#urodoztruncatehtml)

> PHP library to handle truncate action on HTML strings

Features
--------

[](#features)

- Truncates an HTML string keeping consistency on open/close tags
- No external dependencies.
- PSR-4 compatible.
- Compatible with PHP >= 5.3.3 and
- Integrations for [Symfony2](http://symfony.com) and [Twig](http://twig.sensiolabs.org).

Installation
------------

[](#installation)

You can install urodoz/truncateHTML through [Composer](https://getcomposer.org):

```
$ composer require urodoz/truncate-html:@stable
```

Usage
-----

[](#usage)

Truncate an HTML string:

```
use Urodoz\Truncate\TruncateService;

$truncateService = new TruncateService();
echo $truncateService->truncate($htmlString, 100); //Truncating to 100 characters
```

Integrations
------------

[](#integrations)

### Symfony2

[](#symfony2)

TruncateHTML contains a Symfony2 bundle and service definition that allow you to use it as a service in your Symfony2 application. The code resides in the `Urodoz\Truncate\Bridge\Symfony` namespace and you only need to add the bundle class to your `AppKernel.php`:

```
# app/AppKernel.php

class AppKernel extends Kernel
{
    public function registerBundles()
    {
        $bundles = array(
            // ...
            new Urodoz\Truncate\Bridge\Symfony\UrodozTruncateBundle(),
        );
        // ...
    }

    // ...
}
```

You can now use the `urodoz_truncate` service everywhere in your application, for example, in your controller:

```
$truncatedString = $this->get('urodoz_truncate')->truncate($htmlString, 100);
```

### Twig

[](#twig)

If you use the Symfony2 framework with Twig you can use the Twig filter `truncateHTML` in your templates after you have setup Symfony2 integrations (see above).

```
{{ truncateHTML(content, 250) }}
```

If you use Twig outside of the Symfony2 framework you first need to add the extension to your environment:

```
use Urodoz\Truncate\Bridge\Twig\TruncateExtension;
use Urodoz\Truncate\TruncateService;

$twig = new Twig_Environment($loader);
$twig->addFunction(new TruncateExtension(TruncateService::create()));
```

You can find more information about registering extensions in the [Twig documentation](http://twig.sensiolabs.org/doc/advanced.html#creating-an-extension).
