The purpose of this is to try Hack programming language. This is not the fastest or the most elegant way of programming. But it is a good bundle to show in a demo. I wrote a blog post about this bundle on developer.happyr.com.

The Excerpt Bundle takes an excerpt from a HTML string. We make sure to return valid HTML and we do not break words.

Installation

Install with composer:

composer require happyr/excerpt-bundle

Enable the bundle:

// app/AppKernel.php

public function registerBundles()
{
    $bundles = [
        // ...
        new HappyR\ExcerptBundle\HappyRExcerptBundle(),
    ];
}

Using the Twig filter

{{ '<p>Hello World Foobar!</p>'|excerpt(17) }} 
{# <p>Hello World...</p> #}

Default Configuration

happy_r_excerpt:
    tail: '...'
    length: 300
