Pass the isTruncated prop to render an ellipsis when the text exceeds the width of the viewport or maxWidth prop.

Lorem ipsum is placeholder text commonly used in the graphic, print, and publishing industries for previewing layouts and visual mockups.

Pro Tip 💡: You can also apply noOfLines responsively.
