Utilizing Tailwind CSS in conjunction with React, I have implemented the following input component:
<input
type="text"
id="username"
name="username"
className="rounded-md ml-3 pl-1 outline-0"
/>
When the input text overflows and the cursor is positioned at the end, it appears like this: view screenshot of overflowing input container
However, my objective is to truncate the text early so that there's always some whitespace on the right side inside the input container.
To achieve this, I added pr-6 to the input component like so:
<input
type="text"
id="username"
name="username"
className="rounded-md ml-3 pl-1 outline-0 pr-6"
/>
Unfortunately, this addition also increased the width of the entire input container on the left side as seen here: see screenshot of input container with padding
I attempted to explicitly set the width, but encountered a strange outcome where the width abruptly changed. Using
className="rounded-md ml-3 pl-1 outline-0 pr-6 w-24"And with
className="rounded-md ml-3 pl-1 outline-0 pr-6 w-25"Is there a way to achieve early text truncation while maintaining the behavior of the right-hand side of the textbox without adding extra space to the left? I'd prefer a solution that doesn't require additional packages.
