Martin Anderson-Clutz – @mandclu 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.
- Brief history
- How old: Originally created in Apr 2012
- Versions available: 7.x-1.6 and 2.1.0 versions available, the latter compatible with Drupal 8, 9, and 10
- Maintainership
- Actively maintained
- Number of open issues
- 74, 8 of which are active bugs against the 2.x branch
- Test coverage, using the new GitLab CI
- User guide for documentation
- Usage stats:
- 66,919
- Maintainer(s):
- 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
