lodash.truncate intelligently truncates strings to a specified length, adding an omission string ('...' by default) if the original string exceeds that length. It preserves word boundaries by attempting to truncate at the last complete word before the limit. You can customize the omission string and truncation point using options. This utility ensures clean, readable string output, preventing words from being awkwardly cut off. Ideal for displaying summaries or previews of longer text.
