use numberOfLines  https   rnplay org plays ImmKkA edit  or if you know or can compute the max character count per row  JS substring may be used    lt Text gt     mytextvar  length  gt  maxlimit            mytextvar  substring 0 maxlimit-3                   mytextvar    lt  Text gt

You can use ellipsizeMode and numberOfLines  e g   lt Text ellipsizeMode  tail  numberOfLines  2  gt    This very long text should be truncated with dots in the beginning   lt  Text gt    https   facebook github io react-native docs text html

Use the numberOfLines parameter on a Text component    lt Text numberOfLines  1  gt long long long long text lt Text gt    Will produce   long long long       Assuming you have short width container      Use the ellipsizeMode parameter to move the ellipsis to the head or middle  tail is the default value    lt Text numberOfLines  1  ellipsizeMode  head  gt long long long long text lt Text gt    Will produce      long long text     NOTE  The Text component should also include style    flex  1    when the ellipsis needs to be applied relative to the size of its container  Useful for row layouts  etc

To Achieve ellipses for the text use the Text property numberofLines  1  which will automatically truncate the text with an ellipsis you can specify the ellipsizeMode as  quot head quot    quot middle quot    quot tail quot  or  quot clip quot  By default it is tail https   reactnative dev docs text ellipsizemode
