Razor CSHTML IF statement - razor

Question

Anyone here that can help me? I have the following code:
#inherits umbraco.MacroEngines.DynamicNodeContext
#{
var node = #Model.NodeById(1257);
}
<div class="Top10">
<h1>Newest</h1>
#foreach (var article in node.Descendants().Where("Visible && (NodeTypeAlias = \"Article\" || NodeTypeAlias = \"sergrein\" || NodeTypeAlias = \"solomyndagrein\")").OrderBy("createDate desc").Take(10))
{
<h2>#article.createDate.ToString("dd/MM") | #article.title</h2>
}
</div>
What I want is: if #article.title is longer than e.g. 10 characters, it needs to return the 10 characters followed by ... (for example: "this_is_a_..."). If the #article.title is shorter than 10 characters, it can just show the full title length.
How can this truncating be done?

Answer 1

Try this
#(article.title.Length > 10 ? (article.title.Substring(0,10) + " ...") : article.title)

Answer 2

Normally I'd say do this in your Model, but it looks like you're using Umbraco's model.
So you could just do:
#inherits umbraco.MacroEngines.DynamicNodeContext
#{
var node = #Model.NodeById(1257);
}
<div class="Top10">
<h1>Newest</h1>
#foreach (var article in node.Descendants().Where("Visible && (NodeTypeAlias = \"Article\" || NodeTypeAlias = \"sergrein\" || NodeTypeAlias = \"solomyndagrein\")").OrderBy("createDate desc").Take(10))
{
{
var title = article.title;
if (title.Length > 10)
title = title.Substring(0,10) + "...";
}
<h2>#article.createDate.ToString("dd/MMM") | #title</h2>
}
</div>

Answer 3

this shall help,
#{
if(article.title.ToString().Length > 10)
{
article.title = article.title.Substring(0,10) + " ..."; //the format you desire
}
else
{
article.title; // default
}
}
