Handle Read More/ Read Less from outside.

[saad9624-tribalScale]

Is there any prop available to handle read more / read less from outside. like on button press or something.

[fawaz-ahmed]

@saad9624-tribalScale you can use the onExpand and onCollapse callback props

"optional callback executed when expanded"

I didnt find any option to call this function from outside of ReadMore component. It's just executing when expanded.

[fawaz-ahmed]

@saad9624-tribalScale none of the methods can be called from outside. Can you explain what is the use case that you're trying to achieve ?

[saad9624-tribalScale]

I am trying to expand and collapse from onPress event of custom button. Is it doable?

[fawaz-ahmed]

@saad9624-tribalScale at the moment its not supported

[saad9624-tribalScale]

I am trying to do this externally because customComponent is not very customizable.

The toggle method, you need to call this from outside.

Pass a ref to ReadMore and try calling this method.

Otherwise you can raise a PR, I can merge it.

Sure, Thanks.

@fawaz-ahmed I had difficulties passing a ref, so I created a pr which adds a collapsed prop (#70). Hope this could solve the problem.

[fawaz-ahmed]

@rawroland would you be able to push the updates anytime soon ?
