Instance Method Details

#truncate(truncate_at) ⇒ String

Mimics core functionality of RoR String's truncate method, by cutting a string to a certain length, while adding '...' to the end and making sure it won't cut in the middle of a word, just on a space.

The original RoR truncate method can be found here: goo.gl/unjyZm
