Laravel | Limit the number of characters in a string and leave the full word at the end.

help.md

Description:

Limit the number of characters in a string and leave the full word at the end using the Laravel Framework. In other words, do not cut the word at the end of the line. Assume the only requirement is "limit+ character string that is composed of full words".

Algorithm:

1. Call Str::limit($limit) and save the result.
2. Count words in that result.
3. Call Str::words() to get that number of words from the original string.

Example:

$limit = 20;
$original = 'Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipiscing elit. Sed pharetra.';
$new = \Str::words($original, str_word_count(\Str::limit($original, $limit)));
