use-dotdotdot

No reason, just make the text dot dot dot!!

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.
