[Vuejs]-Truncate and show or hide the link text when clicking on "read more" link

Using v-if
v-if="obj.informations.length > 300"

Example:

<div v-if="summary">
  {{ obj.informations | linitToDisplay(300) }}
  <a v-if="obj.informations.length > 300" @click="summary = false">Read more<a>
<div v-else>
  {{ obj.informations }}
</div>

But you’d probably write toggleSummary() method instead of the inline summary = false handler and maybe use computed property that reacts to summary instead of a filter.

You could use a computed property to handle that case and when you click on the link the whole link text will be shown :

EDIT

i suggest the following solution which built by altering your datasource and by modifying each cell in the mounted hook, "id":0 will be "id":{txt:0,toggled:true}, "informations":"..." will be "informations":{txt:"...",toggled:false} and so on. and when you click on a cell you will only modify its toggled property to false 

// ignore the following two lines, they just disable warnings in "Run code snippet"

Vue.config.productionTip = false;
