Create a layer that is the intrinsic size (height and width) of the text content it contains. There is also support for single/multi-line truncation.

Check out the example or clone/download this repo, open it in Framer Studio and play around.

$ cd <myProject>.framer
$ npm install framer-label

modules/myModule.coffee:

exports.Label = require "framer-label"

app.coffee:

{Label} = require "myModule"

new Label
  text: "One great label"
  lineHeight: 1.5
  lineNumber: 2
  maxWidth: 100

Aliases: lineNumber, lineClamp, numberOfLines

Represents the max number of lines a label can have. This only applies when there is a constraining maxWidth set. Set to 0, null or any other falsey value to stop truncation and render the label at its inherit height.

Constrain the label’s width and truncate any overflowing text. If the text is shorter than the set maxWidth, the label will shrink to that inherit size.

The text (and/or HTML) to display.

All the CSS typography properties are Label properties as well. No need to myLabel.style.lineHeight = 1.5. Numeric values are intelligently suffixed with 'px' and unitless properties, like lineHeight, stay unitless.

Update the label's size.
