  • Introduced the nve-format-truncate component to truncate text at the start, center, or end

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • New Features

    • Added a Format Truncate element that shortens long text while preserving accessibility.
    • Supports start, center, and end truncation; character, word, and path strategies; configurable bias; and preserved content.
    • Automatically adapts to available space and handles slotted or nested text.
    • Provides the full text on hover when truncation occurs.
  • Documentation

    • Added installation instructions, usage guidance, examples, and navigation for Format Truncate.
  • Tests

    • Added coverage for accessibility, visual rendering, server-side rendering, performance, and truncation behavior.

Changes

Format Truncate component

Layer / File(s) Summary
Truncation utilities
projects/core/src/format-truncate/utils.ts
Adds text normalization and width-aware character, word, and path truncation with bias and preserved-unit options.
Component rendering and definition
projects/core/src/format-truncate/format-truncate.ts, projects/core/src/format-truncate/format-truncate.css, projects/core/src/format-truncate/define.ts
Adds the Lit custom element, slot handling, accessible full-text content, responsive measurement, styling, and custom-element registration.
Package and bundle integration
projects/core/src/format-truncate/index.ts, projects/core/package.json, projects/core/src/bundle.ts
Adds package export mappings and registers and re-exports the component in the core bundle.
Examples, tests, and documentation
projects/core/src/format-truncate/format-truncate.examples.ts, projects/core/src/format-truncate/*.test.*, projects/core/src/index.test.lighthouse.ts, projects/site/src/_11ty/layouts/common.js, projects/site/src/docs/elements/format-truncate.md
Adds Storybook examples, component and utility tests, accessibility, Lighthouse, SSR, visual coverage, navigation, and usage documentation.

Estimated code review effort: 4 (Complex) | ~45 minutes

Merge Risk: 🟡 Moderate · up to 022e8

Center truncation with bias="start" can discard all trailing content instead of truncating around the center as intended. This is a bounded correctness issue in the new component, so merge should wait for a fix or explicit owner acceptance.

This is the expensive part of the component for performance. It only needs to do this if the bounds change but has to compute the widths. The benefit here is its very precise and makes it easy to control exactly what text characters are rendered. The actual updating of the formatted characters is cheap since its only changing the text node.

The original spec had "middle" I changed to "center" to match our other APIs and seemed to match closer to text-align/flex terminology but I may be missing some additional context on that choice.

In `@projects/core/src/format-truncate/format-truncate.examples.ts`:
- Line 40: Correct the middle-truncation bias guidance in the format-truncate
examples summary: recommend end bias for shared suffixes and start bias for
identifiers with meaningful endings, matching the documented retention behavior
of each bias.

In `@projects/core/src/format-truncate/format-truncate.test.ssr.ts`:
- Around line 16-18: Update the SSR assertions in FormatTruncate.render()
coverage to verify the shadow content contract: assert that the rendered result
includes the internal-host element, its aria-hidden attribute/value, and the
default slot, in addition to the existing shadow root, host tag, and text
checks.

In `@projects/core/src/format-truncate/format-truncate.ts`:
- Around line 66-93: Remove the repeated text computation from willUpdate and
compute the slotted text and truncated result once in render using `#slottedText`
and `#renderText`. Set title only when the truncated result differs from the
original text; otherwise remove the title attribute, while preserving the
existing rendered span and slot output.
- Around line 107-125: Cache the computed font, letter-spacing, word-spacing,
and Intl.Segmenter once per update in the render path, then pass those values
into `#measureText` instead of reading styles or constructing the segmenter for
every binary-search probe. Rename graphemeCount to reflect that it stores an
Intl.Segments object, while preserving the existing width calculation.
- Around line 95-105: Update the ancestor traversal in the `#availableWidth`
getter and the observer walk to cross shadow-root boundaries via getRootNode(),
using the proposed composedParent traversal instead of parentElement. Preserve
the existing width selection and resize-observation behavior while allowing
host-side ancestors to be reached.
- Around line 135-147: Update the resize-observation logic around
`#observeAvailableWidth` and the element’s parent-change lifecycle so moving
between connected parents re-observes the new ancestor chain. Ensure the
previous observation is removed or refreshed before observing the new parents,
and add coverage for moving the element between containers with different widths
and updating the rendered text accordingly.

In `@projects/core/src/format-truncate/utils.ts`:
- Around line 74-81: Fix both candidate builders in
projects/core/src/format-truncate/utils.ts at lines 74-81 and 96-99 so a count
of zero produces an empty retained fragment rather than the full unit list.
Update the truncateText candidate path and the corresponding retained-fragment
logic to conditionally return an empty string for zero, preserving the existing
slice behavior for positive counts.

Assert the SSR shadow-content contract.

The host tag and slotted text come from the input template. The test can pass if FormatTruncate.render() stops emitting internal-host or the default slot. Assert the internal host, its aria-hidden value, and the slot.
