Responsive Accessible Text Cropping Library – cropCopyRestore.js

cropCopyRestore.js is a standalone JavaScript library which allows to truncate long text by lines and provides an accessible way to toggle the truncated content with a smooth sliding effect.

How to use it:

Wrap your long text into DIV elements as shown below. The ‘data-cropCopyRestore’ attribute is used to specify how many lines you’d like to truncate the text.

<div class=CCR>
  <div class=CCR_txt data-cropCopyRestore=2>
    Long Text Here
  </div>
</div>

Include the main JavaScript file ‘cropCopyRestore.xx.min.js’ at the end of your html document.

<script src="js/cropCopyRestore.2.1.min.js"></script>

The helper classes.

* { box-sizing: border-box; }
.visually-hidden {
  position: absolute !important;
  height: 1px;
  width: 1px;
  overflow: hidden;
  clip: rect(1px, 1px, 1px, 1px);
}

The main CSS styles.

.CCR {
  /* Animated via JS embedding inline max-height values */
  /* Note: 1ms shorter than SVG rotation duration */
  overflow: hidden;
  transition: max-height .6s ease-out;
}
.CCR_txt {
  /* Optional, adjust to meet individual project */
  color: #fff;
  background-color: #000;
 padding: .75rem 1rem;

.CCR_txt[role="button"] { cursor: pointer; }
