Laravel - How to display WYSIWYG and also truncate the string

I am using Laravel-5.8 for a web application project.

In the Project, I used text editor for a particular field called goal_description and the datatype is longtext.

public function index()
{
  $goals = Goal::all();
  return view('goals.index')->with('goals', $goals);
}


<tbody>
  @foreach($goals as $key => $goal)
    <td>
       {{$key+1}}
    </td>
    <td>
       {{$goal->goal_title ?? '' }}
    </td>
    <td>
       {{$goal->goal_description ?? '' }}
    </td>
  @endforeach 
</tbody>

I have two issues:

  1. How do I display goal_description without the HTML tags, but it will format the field

  2. How do I truncate the field to the length of 20 with ellpse ..., then when the ellipse is clicked, it will display everything.

Thank you.

Solution

  • Issue 1> use {!!$goal->goal_description ?? '' !!}

    Issue 2> I really dont know what ellipse is. But to truncate a string just use str as below

    {!! Str::limit($goal->goal_description, 20, ' ...') !!}
