var str = "Anything you type in.";
str.substring(0, 5) + "" //you can type any amount of length you want

使用substring方法:

var length = 3;
var myString = "ABCDEFG";
var myTruncatedString = myString.substring(0,length);
// The value of myTruncatedString is "ABC"

在你的例子中:

var length = 3;  // set to the number of characters you want to keep
var pathname = document.referrer;
var trimmedPathname = pathname.substring(0, Math.min(length,pathname.length));

document.getElementById("foo").innerHTML =
     "<a href='" + pathname +"'>" + trimmedPathname + "</a>"

我觉得应该提一下Sugar.js。它有一个截断方法，非常聪明。

从文档中可以看到:

截断字符串。除非split为true, truncate不会将单词拆分，而是 丢弃发生截断的单词。

例子:

'just sittin on the dock of the bay'.truncate(20)

输出:

just sitting on...

逻辑如下

得到字符串的长度 如果大于阈值，则获取 子字符串并以省略号或其他符号结束 否则，返回输入字符串 函数truncateString(str: string, num: number, end: string = '…'){ 返回str.length > num ?str.slice(0, num) + end: str; ｝

以防你想按单词截断。

function limit(str, limit, end) { limit = (limit)? limit : 100; end = (end)? end : '...'; str = str.split(' '); if (str.length > limit) { var cutTolimit = str.slice(0, limit); return cutTolimit.join(' ') + ' ' + end; } return str.join(' '); } var limit = limit('ILorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipiscing elit. Vivamus metus magna, maximus a dictum et, hendrerit ac ligula. Vestibulum massa sapien, venenatis et massa vel, commodo elementum turpis. Nullam cursus, enim in semper luctus, odio turpis dictum lectus', 20); console.log(limit);
