happyr/excerpt-bundle

A Symfony2 Bundle to make excerpts

HappyR Excerpt Bundle

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., _(*1)

The Excerpt Bundle takes an excerpt from a HTML string. We make sure to return valid HTML and we do not break words., _(*2)

Installation

1. Install with composer:

composer require happyr/excerpt-bundle

1. 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
