Truncate strings on the index page (!80) · Merge requests · thoughtbot, inc. / administrate

Merged Administrator requested to merge truncate-index-strings into master Sep 12, 2015

Created by: gracewashere

Problem: Strings were being super long on the index page, and expanding the table past the right side of the browser window.

Solution: truncate the strings.

Developers can specify a custom truncation length by passing in a truncate option:

ATTRIBUTE_TYPES = [
  title: Field::String.with_options(truncate: 20),
  description: Field::String, # by default, truncated to 50 characters
]
