Read-more-more NPM

Read-More-More

Read-More-More is a simple pakage for react that helps to implement 'read more' or 'read less' feature to any given text, you can limit the number of chracters in string/text to give the "read more" text at the end, also if you have a HTML String that you want to convert it to React element, you can do that too by add parseHtml prop

Motivation

I was working on a project where i needed to use "read more/less" button , cause of the huge "HTML String" I was getting from an API and I tried finding libraries to add "read more/less" feature to the text but the problem was that in those libraries there was not any options for parsing HTML string to React element , which was serious need for me.Also I tried parsing the text that i was getting from other 'read more' libraries but that didn't work too. So finally I decided to make my own 'read more/less' library and here we are.

Update 2.0.0

This update brings you a new advance read-more-more, it calculates the actual height of the sentences when it opens, also recalculates the height if the window resizes so it makes the transition smoother. And I named this method AdvReadMoreMore 😬, I know its pretty basic 😂.

Hope you all will love this new update and as always critisims are always welcomed.
