## 🕵🏼 Usage

Generated post excerpt

_{<PostExcerpt /> component generated excerpt}

Install it by executing:

```shell
npm i -D "@igor.dvlpr/astro-post-excerpt"
```

then import it into your project:

`PostPreview.astro`

```jsx
import PostExcerpt from '@igor.dvlpr/astro-post-excerpt'

const { post } = Astro.props

{ /* other markup */ }

```

> ❗ **NOTE**: if you get a build error _"unknown file extension \".astro\" for @igor.dvlpr/astro-post-excerpt"_, you'll need to update your [`astro.config.mjs`](https://docs.astro.build/en/guides/configuring-astro/) file and add the following property:

```js
vite: {
ssr: {
noExternal: ['astro', '@igor.dvlpr/astro-post-excerpt'],
},
}
```

See [#3820](https://github.com/withastro/astro/issues/3820) for more information.

If you have migrated your Astro site to v2+ you can now use Collections for your posts loop. This component works with both v2+ and versions prior v2.

If you're upgrading this component while keeping your Astro installation <2, everything should work as expected since the introduced changes are backwards-compatible.

In case of an issue, submit it on the component's [Issues](https://github.com/igorskyflyer/npm-astro-post-excerpt/issues/new) page. You should provide a concise explanation of the issue you're facing and sample code - if applicable.

## 🤹🏼‍♂️ Options

### post

```ts
post: IAstroMarkdownFile | IAstroCollectionEntry | GlobFile
```

**required** , represents the post whose excerpt you want to generate and render. You should insert this component inside your posts loop:

- for `Astro >=2`, obtained via:

- [`getCollection()`](https://docs.astro.build/en/reference/api-reference/#getcollection)- for posts loop,

- [`getEntryBySlug()`](https://docs.astro.build/en/reference/api-reference/#getentrybyslug) - for single posts retrival,

- for `Astro <2`, obtained via [`Astro.glob()`](https://docs.astro.build/en/reference/api-reference/#astroglob).

If this prop is not supplied or not valid, the component will throw an error.

Interfaces and types

- `IAstroMarkdownFile`,
- `IAstroCollectionEntry`,
- `GlobFile`

are artificial and they correspond to

- `MarkdownInstance>`,
- `CollectionEntry`,
- `Record`

respectfully.

### words

```ts
words?: number
```

**optional**, represents the number of words the generated excerpt should have in total. Be aware that the prop [`maxLength`](#maxlength) has precedence over this prop but you can use both props simultaneously.

Defaults to **40**.

If this prop is not supplied or not valid, a warning will be output to the console.

### maxLength

```ts
maxLength?: number
```

**optional**, represent the max length of the generated excerpt. Be aware that this prop has precedence over the [`words`](#words) prop but you can use both props simultaneously.

Defaults to **0** (unlimited).

If this prop is not supplied or not valid, a warning will be output to the console.

### addEllipsis

```ts
addEllipsis?: boolean
```

**optional**, controls whether an ellipsis should be appended to the post excerpt. Defaults to **true**.

If this prop is not valid, a warning will be output to the console.

### smartEllipsis

```ts
smartEllipsis?: boolean
```

**optional**, controls whether the appended ellipsis should be aware of how the excerpt ends, i.e. if the excerpt ends with a punctuation symbol the ellipsis won't be appended. Defaults to **true**.

**Note**: punctuation symbols that this component is aware of are:

- `"."`
- `","`
- `"?"`
- `"!"`
- `";"`
- `"…"`

If this prop is not valid, a warning will be output to the console.

### ellipsis

```ts
ellipsis?: string
```

**optional**, controls the ellipsis string that should be appended to the post excerpt. Defaults to **"…"**.

If this prop is not valid, a warning will be output to the console.
