Code Share of the Week
- Truncating Strings in Deluge for Cleaner Output
- Long strings can break layouts in dashboards, widgets, or reports, making data unreadable. The provided snippet checks the length of a string, trims it to a set limit (default 30 characters), and appends an ellipsis if needed. This ensures text stays clean while still hinting at additional content. It’s especially useful when preparing API payloads, custom widgets, or handling multi-line fields with strict character limits. A small but powerful trick to keep your Zoho apps looking sharp and functioning smoothly.
