## Requirements
`jquery-shorten` requires the latest version of [`jQuery`](https://jquery.com/download/).
## Usage
#### Including files:
```html
```
#### Required HTML structure
```html
Long content here
```
#### Initialization
All you need to do is call the plugin on the element:
```javascript
jQuery(function($) {
$('.example').shorten();
});
```
## Examples
There are some example usages that you can look at to get started. They can be found in the
[examples folder](https://github.com/amazingSurge/jquery-shorten/tree/master/examples).
## Options
`jquery-shorten` can accept an options object to alter the way it behaves. You can see the default options by call `$.shorten.setDefaults()`. The structure of an options object is as follows:
```
{
namespace: 'shorten',
chars: 100,
ellipses: '...',
more: 'more',
less: 'less'
}
```
## Methods
Methods are called on shorten instances through the shorten method itself.
You can also save the instances to variable for further use.
```javascript
// call directly
$().shorten('destroy');
// or
var api = $().data('shorten');
api.destroy();
```
#### text()
Get the text.
```javascript
$().shorten('text');
```
#### expand()
Expand to see full text.
```javascript
$().shorten('expand');
```
#### collapse()
Collapse the text to limited length.
```javascript
$().shorten('collapse');
```
#### update()
Update the container's text with new one.
```javascript
$().shorten('update', 'new content');
```
#### destroy()
Destroy the shorten instance.
```javascript
$().shorten('destroy');
```
## Events
`jquery-shorten` provides custom events for the plugin’s unique actions.
```javascript
$('.the-element').on('shorten::ready', function (e) {
// on instance ready
});
```
Event | Description
------- | -----------
init | Fires when the instance is setup for the first time.
ready | Fires when the instance is ready for API use.
expand | Fired when expand the content.
collapse| Fired when collapse the content.
update | Fired when the `update` instance method has been called.
destroy | Fires when an instance is destroyed.
## No conflict
If you have to use other plugin with the same namespace, just call the `$.shorten.noConflict` method to revert to it.
```html
$.shorten.noConflict();
// Code that uses other plugin's "$().shorten" can follow here.
```
