Support for truncating multiple lines in Tailwindcss.

npm

npm install @fossbarrow/tailwindcss-multiline-truncate --save

yarn

yarn add @fossbarrow/tailwindcss-multiline-truncate 

Register the plugin in tailwind.config.js.

// tailwind.config.js
{
  plugins: [
    require('@fossbarrow/tailwindcss-multiline-truncate')(),
  ],
}

Add the truncate settings and modify after own desire in the same file.

// tailwind.config.js
{
  theme: {
    truncate: {
        lines: {
            3: '3',
            5: '5',
            8: '8',
        }
    }
}

Now, in your vue component, you can use the plugin like so:

<p class="truncate-3-lines">
    Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet consectetur adipisicing elit. Veritatis, porro
    exercitationem dolorum nemo molestiae excepturi eos non suscipit, cupiditate
    incidunt libero nisi atque voluptas sint reiciendis placeat! Eos, magnam
    asperiores? ipsum dolor sit amet consectetur adipisicing elit.
    libero nisi atque voluptas sint reiciendis!
</p>

Output:

    Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet consectetur adipisicing elit. Veritatis, porro 
    exercitationem dolorum nemo molestiae excepturi eos non suscipit, cupiditate 
    incidunt libero nisi atque voluptas sint reiciendis placeat! Eos, magnam... 

This plugin generates the following utilities:

.truncate-[key]-lines {
    'overflow': 'hidden',
    'display': '-webkit-box',
    '-webkit-box-orient': 'vertical',
    '-webkit-line-clamp': [value],
}

You can also add variants just like any rule:

//tailwind.config.js
{
    ...
    plugins: [
       require('@fossbarrow/tailwindcss-multiline-truncate')(['responsive', 'hover']), 
    ]
}
