Determines the best font size to fit all of a given text content within the available space.

The expected content for Bento Fit Text is text or other inline content, but it can also contain non-inline content.

Web Component

You must include each Bento component's required CSS library to guarantee proper loading and before adding custom styles. Or use the light-weight pre-upgrade styles available inline. See Layout and style.

Import via npm

npm install @bentoproject/fit-text

import {defineElement as defineBentoFitText} from '@bentoproject/fit-text';
defineBentoFitText();

    </bento-fit-text>

Overflowing content

If the content of the bento-fit-text overflows the available space, even with a min-font-size specified, the overflowing content is cut off and hidden. WebKit and Blink-based browsers show ellipsis for overflowing content.

In the following example, we specified a min-font-size of 40, and added more content inside the bento-fit-text element. This causes the content to exceed the size of its fixed block parent, so the text is truncated to fit the container.

<div style="width: 300px; height: 300px; background: #005af0; color: #fff">
  <bento-fit-text min-font-size="40">
    Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, has nisl nihil convenire et, vim at aeque
    inermis reprehendunt. Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, has nisl nihil convenire
    et, vim at aeque inermis reprehendunt
  </bento-fit-text>
</div>

Layout and style

Each Bento component has a small CSS library you must include to guarantee proper loading without content shifts. Because of order-based specificity, you must manually ensure that stylesheets are included before any custom styles.

<link
  rel="stylesheet"
  type="text/css"
  href="https://cdn.ampproject.org/v0/bento-fit-text-1.0.css"
/>

Alternatively, you may also make the light-weight pre-upgrade styles available inline:

<style>
  bento-fit-text {
    display: block;
    overflow: hidden;
    position: relative;
  }
</style>

Container type

The bento-fit-text component has a defined layout size type. To ensure the component renders correctly, be sure to apply a size to the component and its immediate children (slides) via a desired CSS layout (such as one defined with height, width, aspect-ratio, or other such properties):

bento-fit-text {
  height: 100px;
  width: 100%;
}

Accessibility considerations of overflowing content

While overflowing content is visually truncated to fit the container, note that it's still present in the document. Do not rely on the overflow behaviour to simply "stuff" large amounts of content in your pages - while visually it may look appropriate, it may lead to the page becoming overly verbose to users of assistive technologies (such as screen readers), as for these users all the truncated content will still be read/announced in full.
