# mTruncate - Angular Truncate Directive

`mTruncate` is a lightweight and customizable Angular directive for truncating text with support for tooltips. It allows you to truncate text based on width or a specified number of lines and display a tooltip when the full text is not visible.

## 🚀 Features

- **Dynamic Truncation** – Truncate text based on characters, lines, or width.
- **Tooltip Support** – Shows full text when hovered.
- **Customizable** – Change styles, position, colors, and more.
- **Performance Optimized** – Uses event debouncing and efficient calculations.
- **Responsive** – Adapts to different screen sizes.

## 📦 Installation

Install the package via npm:

```sh
npm install m-truncate
```

Or using yarn:

```sh
yarn add m-truncate
```

## 📖 Usage

### 1. Import the Directive

The directive is `standalone`, so you can use it directly in your component.

```typescript
import { MTruncateDirective } from "m-truncate";
```

#### Apply to a Component Example

```typescript
import { MTruncateDirective } from "m-truncate";

@Component({
  selector: "app-example",
  standalone: true,
  imports: [MTruncateDirective],
  template: `<div mTruncate>This text will be truncated</div>`,
})
export class ExampleComponent {}
```

### 2. Apply to an Element

```html
<div mTruncate>This is a long text that will be truncated based on the specified conditions.</div>
```

## ⚡ Examples

### Truncate by Characters

```html
<p mTruncate [truncateChar]="50">Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipiscing elit. Sed ut purus neque.</p>
```

### Truncate by Lines

```html
<div mTruncate [truncateLines]="2">This text will be truncated after two lines.</div>
```

### Tooltip Position

```html
<span mTruncate [truncateChar]="20" [tooltipPosition]="'bottom'"> This tooltip will appear at the bottom </span>
```

### Maximum Truncated Width

```html
<p mTruncate [maxTruncateWidth]="150">This is a long text that will be truncated if it exceeds 150px.</p>
```

## 🎨 Styling

You can customize the tooltip using CSS:

```css
.mTooltip {
  font-family: Arial, sans-serif;
  padding: 8px;
  border-radius: 6px;
  box-shadow: 0 4px 10px rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.2);
}
```

## 📌 Note

If you have an **Arabic version** of your application or need to **dynamically change the tooltip direction across your project**, you can use the `mTruncate` service to set the direction globally.

#### Use the Service in `app.component.ts`

```typescript
import { Component } from "@angular/core";
import { MTruncateService } from "m-truncate";

@Component({
  selector: "app-root",
  templateUrl: "./app.component.html",
  styleUrl: "./app.component.scss",
})
export class AppComponent {
  constructor(private mTruncateService: MTruncateService) {}

  ngOnInit() {
    this.mTruncateService.setDirection("rtl"); // Change direction globally
  }
}
```
