Class SerenityTextEliding

Pure string truncation for display labels too long for their control. Elides from the LEFT — keeps the tail of the string and prefixes an ellipsis — because the distinguishing part of Serenity's generated names (a specific profile, module, or variant) usually lives at the end rather than the start, so keeping the prefix instead would throw away the information the reader actually needs.

Syntax

public static class SerenityTextEliding

Methods

ElideFromLeft(string, int)

Returns text unchanged when it already fits within maxLength. Otherwise keeps the tail and prefixes Serenity.Shared.Utils.SerenityTextEliding.EllipsisPrefix so the result never exceeds maxLength characters. A null text is treated as empty, and a non-positive maxLength always yields an empty string.

Declaration

public static string ElideFromLeft(string text, int maxLength)

Parameters

Type	Name	Description
string	text	The candidate label to elide.
int	maxLength	The maximum length of the returned string, including the ellipsis.

Returns
