NativeScript: max number of lines on a Label

Question

If I add textWrap="true" to a Label, text is wrapped over several lines, so far so good.

But I have a very long string and our design only have room for two lines. How do I limit the Label to max two lines?

I'd prefer not to set a height, since that would leave an empty line for texts that could fit on one line?

Answer 1

Let's try this:

For Android:

myLabel.android.setMaxLines(2);

For iOS:

myLabel.ios.numberOfLines = 2

Answer 2

To add an ellipsis('... ') at the end to indicate that the text is cutoff, implement the directive at the below link. The above one doesn't have any,
