Another React ReadMoreComponent

Here is another implementation for a ReadMoreComponent for React.

const AnotherReadMoreComponent = ({ text, cutOff }) => {
  const [showReadMore, setShowReadMore] = useState(true);
  const [displayMore, setDisplayMore] = useState(true);
  const getText = () => {
    if (text?.length <= cutOff) {
      setDisplayMore(false);
      return text;
    } else {
      return text.slice(0, cutOff);
    }
  };
  useEffect(() => {
    getText();
  }, []);
  return (
    <div>
      <p
        style={{
          textAlign: "justify"
        }}
      >
        {showReadMore ? getText() : text}

        {displayMore && (
          <span
            style={{
              display: "inline",

              cursor: "pointer"
            }}
            onClick={() => {
              setShowReadMore(!showReadMore);
            }}
          >
            {showReadMore ? "...more" : "...less"}
          </span>
        )}
      </p>
    </div>
  );
};

In this example, the component accepts two props text and cutOff which is the full text to be displayed and how much length you want to display.

When the component is rendered, it will show the short text version of the content with a "read more" text to click on. When the text is clicked, the component's state is updated to show the full text and a "...less" button.

This component also uses a getText() method which checks if the text length is less than or equal to cutOff it displays the whole string without more or less options.

You can use this component in other component by passing the text and cutOff as prop.
