Smart Trim


Brief description:

Have you ever wanted to truncate provided user text in a
more intelligent way than the “summary or trimmed” formatter
in Drupal core? There’s a module for that.

the latter compatible with Drupal 8, 9, and 10

Friends of the podcast, markie, ultimike, volkswagenchick

Module features and usage

Adds a variety of configuration options, in addition to
the trim length:

Whether the length is characters or words

An optional suffix at the trim point e.g. ellipsis

Whether or not to add a more link after the trimmed text

Stripping HTML tags from the trimmed output

The ability to customize the output even more via twig
template override

Because it works by providing a field formatter it works
with entity display but also views, layout builder, and more

A module I’ve used many times myself and found extremely
useful. I haven’t had a chance to try the latest release, but
given the recent focus on UI improvements, documentation, and
flexibility in the twig template it should be even better
than I remember
