Truncate words/chars in Phoenix?

@kip

The default truncation point in truncate/2 is 30 characters so perhaps the string you are passing is shorter than that?

Looking at the source code there are two options that determine behaviour, used like:

truncate(idea.content, length: 13, omission: “…”)

Hi @kip
Thank you for fast response

it’s still compilation error

Compiling 1 file (.ex)

== Compilation error on file web/views/idea_view.ex ==
** (CompileError) web/templates/idea/index.html.eex:13: undefined function truncate/2
    (stdlib) lists.erl:1338: :lists.foreach/2
    (stdlib) erl_eval.erl:670: :erl_eval.do_apply/6
    (elixir) lib/kernel/parallel_compiler.ex:117: anonymous fn/4 in Kernel.ParallelCompiler.spawn_compilers/1

Also, what omission is?

Thanks!
