## README

# use-dotdotdot

A hook to use CSS property, `line-clamp`, for the long text.

If only one line, use `text-overflow` for the long text.

If the browser doesn't support `line-clamp` and need multiline text, use the canvas api, `measureText`, to generate clamp text.

## Installation

```
npm install use-dotdotdot

or

yarn add use-dotdotdot
```
