  • Introduced the nve-format-truncate component to truncate text at the start, center, or end

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • New Features

    • Added a Format Truncate element that shortens long text while preserving accessibility.
    • Supports start, center, and end truncation, character, word, and path strategies, configurable bias, and preserved content.
    • Automatically adapts to available space and handles slotted or nested text.
    • Provides the full text on hover when truncation occurs.
  • Documentation

    • Added installation instructions, usage guidance, examples, and navigation for Format Truncate.
  • Tests

    • Added coverage for accessibility, visual rendering, server-side rendering, performance, and truncation behavior.

Estimated code review effort: 4 (Complex) | ~45 minutes

Mergeability Score: 🟡 Moderate · up to acac9

The PR is not merge-ready yet: center truncation with bias="start" can discard all trailing text instead of producing the intended result, and resizing may stop tracking the width-controlling ancestor, leaving stale truncation after layout changes. These bounded correctness and runtime issues should be fixed or explicitly accepted before merge.

This is the expensive part of the component for performance. It only needs to do this if the bounds change but has to compute the widths. The benefit here is its very precise and makes it easy to control exactly what text characters are rendered. The actual updating of the formatted characters is cheap since its only changing the text node.

The original spec had "middle" I changed to "center" to match our other APIs and seemed to match closer to text-align/flex terminology but I may be missing some additional context on that choice.

Assert the SSR shadow-content contract.

The host tag and slotted text come from the input template. The test can pass if FormatTruncate.render() stops emitting internal-host or the default slot. Assert the internal host, its aria-hidden value, and the slot.

🎯 Functional Correctness | 🔴 Critical | ⚡ Quick win

slice(-count || length) treats count === 0 as "all units". -0 is falsy, so both candidate builders return the complete unit list instead of an empty fragment. candidate(0) therefore produces the full text plus an ellipsis, which is always wider than availableWidth after the fit check in truncateText.

  • projects/core/src/format-truncate/utils.ts#L74-L81: build the trailing fragment as count === 0 ? '' : truncatableUnits.slice(-count).join(''), so the line 77 fallback triggers only when preserved + ellipsis does not fit.
  • projects/core/src/format-truncate/utils.ts#L96-L99: build the retained fragment as count === 0 ? '' : units.slice(-count).join(''), so a zero fit returns the ellipsis alone instead of the untruncated text.

Observe the same ancestor that supplies #availableWidth.

Line 173 uses clientWidth, but #availableWidth uses getContentWidth(). A padded ancestor can have a positive clientWidth and zero content width. The width getter then selects an outer ancestor, but this loop stops before observing it.

Use getContentWidth(container, view) > 0 for the stop condition. Add a resize test with a zero-content-width padded ancestor and a resizable outer container.

Proposed fix
   `#observeAvailableWidth`(): void {
     if (typeof ResizeObserver === 'undefined') return;
