Issue Description
This isn’t really an issue, as such, more of a handy bit of functionality.
If you’re needing to restrict the length of a caption from Instafeed.js you can use this little filter snippet.
Fixed Code Snippets
// Restrict the caption to 40 characters
filter: function(image) {
var MAX_LENGTH = 40;
// here we create a property called "short_caption"
// on the image object, using the original caption
if (image.caption && image.caption.text) {
image.short_caption = image.caption.text.slice(0, MAX_LENGTH);
} else {
image.short_caption = "";
}
// ensure the filter doesn't reject any images
return true;
},
// Restrict the caption without chopping a word in half
filter: function(image) {
var MAX_LENGTH = 140;
var closestIndex = MAX_LENGTH;
if (image.caption && image.caption.text) {
while(true) {
if (image.caption.text.charAt(closestIndex) === ' ') {
break;
}
closestIndex -= 1;
}
image.short_caption = image.caption.text.slice(0, closestIndex);
} else {
image.short_caption = '';
}
return true;
},
