How to limit string data in view
Hi I am making a cms now I have a view in which the description of the blog post needs to be small but it would print all the data coming from the database i.e blog->description will print all the data .
What I want is the description to be limited so that the user could click on Read More button to view all the content.
My view in which $blog->blogs_description is printing all the data.

Should be able to use
Str::limit($value, $limit = 100, $end = '...')
str_limit() // is a helper
or
Str::words($value, $words = 100, $end = '...')
depending on if you want to end on a letter or word.

Thanks @bashy. Its working now.

@bashy yes nice but you don't have to write with $limit and $end
Str::limit($value, $limit = 100, $end = '...')
this will work too
str::limit($value, 100, '...')
short and sweet :)

@johnef_sh Yes, most programmers will know that. I copied it from the Laravel API so it shows what params you can use and their default values.
Nice try :P

Are you using laravel 6 or higher. The str_and array_ helpers are moved to new package. Reference https://laravel.com/docs/6.x/upgrade#helpers
Also try to create new thread for your questions.
Level 1
try to use str_limit($blog->blogs_description, 50);
