symfony 2 twig limit the length of the text and put three dots

Question

How can I limit the length of the text, e.g., 50, and put three dots in the display?

{% if myentity.text|length > 50 %}

{% block td_text %} {{ myentity.text}         


        

Answer 1

{{ myentity.text|length > 50 ? myentity.text|slice(0, 50) ~ '...' : myentity.text  }}

You need Twig 1.6
