Truncate a String

Determine if the string's length is greater than num. Return the string truncated to the desired length, with ... appended to the end or the original string.

const truncate = (str, num) =>
  str.length > num ? str.slice(0, num > 3 ? num - 3 : num) + '...' : str;
// truncate('boomerang', 7) -> 'boom...'
