Compact Text View

Content Type: Widget
Categories: User Interface,Visualization

Overview

The FunctionText component is a React Native component that displays a piece of text which can be truncated to a specified character limit. If the text exceeds this limit, it shows a "More" button that, when clicked, expands the text to its full length. Once expanded, a "Less" button appears to collapse the text back to its truncated form. This component is useful for displaying long text content in a concise manner, with the option to view more if needed. The text and button colors can be customized through props.
