FUNCTION
truncate(str, length)
DESCRIPTION (WHAT)
Returns the first X characters in a string (unless it reaches the end
of the string first, in which case it will return fewer). Returns a
new string that is truncated to the given length.
USE CASE (WHY)
As a merchant, I want to display a card, at the bottom of
my home page that highlights the most recent blog post. In the card,
I want to display the blog thumbnail, title and the first 40 characters
of the post's body. In order to extract the first 40 characters, I need
a Handlebars helper that works like the javascript substring() function.
USAGE
{{lang (truncate 'blog.post.body.' 40) }}
