Truncate without …

[codemaster138]

I'm trying to create an app with ink.js and I need to truncate a string, but without ….

I looked through the code of the <Text> component, but it just passes the wrap property on to an underlying <ink-text> component which AFAIK puts altering the way truncation works out of my reach.

I tried limiting the size of the box but leaving wrap set to its default value "wrap", but that resulted in the text wrapping out of its container and overwriting components that came after it – not exactly ideal.

Is there some way to truncate text without adding the … character?

I'd love if we could just have a prop truncateCharacter that we can pass to <Text> to alter the … character.

I'll try to write a PR for this right now

Update: Currently waiting for PR sindresorhus/cli-truncate#19 to be merged, then I'll finish this up

Sounds like a valid use case, looking forward to the PR!
