Can you show an example on how you would use this? (Including an example string before and after)

from cli-truncate.

Example use case (basically any line that uses any styles):

import {color} from 'specialist';
import truncate from 'cli-truncate';
import width from 'cli-width';

// Example - Code
const lineCurrent = truncate ( `${color.cyan ( 'title' )} ${color.dim ( 'desc'.repeat ( 1000 ) )}`, width () );
const lineWanted = truncate ( `${color.cyan ( 'title' )} ${color.dim ( 'desc'.repeat ( 1000 ).slice ( 0, width () - 7 ) )}${color.dim ( '…' )}`, width () ); // I don't want to write this, it's just a hard-coded way to produce the wanted output

console.log ( 'Example - Visual - Current' );
console.log ( lineCurrent );

console.log ();

console.log ( 'Example - Visual - Wanted' );
console.log ( lineWanted );

Example visual output (basically the ellipsis just looks nice given the style at the truncation point):

Yeah, I like that. That's really how it should work.

Also, the fact that it currently makes the truncation character bold in your example, seems like a bug.
