amp-fit-text
Introduction
amp-fit-text
enables you to manage the size and fit of text within a given area.
Setup
Include the amp-fit-text
component.
<script async custom-element="amp-fit-text" src="https://cdn.ampproject.org/v0/amp-fit-text-0.1.js"></script>
Basic usage
In each of these examples, the amp-fit-text
element is nested within a container with fixed dimensions to demonstrate the differences in attributes and layout values. When amp-fit-text
is used with a given height
, width
, and layout="responsive"
attribute, the text will scale to fit the parent container.
<div class="square-small"><amp-fit-text width="1" height="1" layout="responsive">Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, has nisl nihil convenire et, vim at aeque inermis reprehendunt.</amp-fit-text></div>
<div class="square-medium"><amp-fit-text width="1" height="1" layout="responsive">Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, has nisl nihil convenire et, vim at aeque inermis reprehendunt.</amp-fit-text></div>
<div class="square-large"><amp-fit-text width="1" height="1" layout="responsive">Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, has nisl nihil convenire et, vim at aeque inermis reprehendunt.</amp-fit-text></div>
Aspect ratio
The text will scale responsively in the ratio defined by the responsive layout, but not exceed the size of its parent. This sample defines an aspect ratio of 1.5:1 (3:2).
<div class="square-small"><amp-fit-text width="300" height="200" layout="responsive">Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, has nisl nihil convenire et, vim at aeque inermis reprehendunt.</amp-fit-text></div>
<div class="square-medium"><amp-fit-text width="300" height="200" layout="responsive">Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, has nisl nihil convenire et, vim at aeque inermis reprehendunt.</amp-fit-text></div>
<div class="square-large"><amp-fit-text width="300" height="200" layout="responsive">Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, has nisl nihil convenire et, vim at aeque inermis reprehendunt.</amp-fit-text></div>
min-font-size
The min-font-size
attribute dictates a minimum size for the text. In this case, we've dictated a minimum of 30, which will cause it to exceed the size of its fixed block parent and be truncated to fit as appropriate.
<div class="square-small"><amp-fit-text width="200" height="200" layout="responsive" min-font-size="18">Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, has nisl nihil convenire et, vim at aeque inermis reprehendunt.</amp-fit-text></div>
<div class="square-medium"><amp-fit-text width="200" height="200" layout="responsive" min-font-size="18">Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, has nisl nihil convenire et, vim at aeque inermis reprehendunt.</amp-fit-text></div>
<div class="square-large"><amp-fit-text width="200" height="200" layout="responsive" min-font-size="18">Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, has nisl nihil convenire et, vim at aeque inermis reprehendunt.</amp-fit-text></div>
max-font-size
The max-font-size
attribute dictates a maximum size for the text. In this case, we've dictated a maximum of 10, ensuring it won't fill the size of its parent element.
<div class="square-small"><amp-fit-text width="200" height="200" layout="responsive" max-font-size="18">Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, has nisl nihil convenire et, vim at aeque inermis reprehendunt.</amp-fit-text></div>
<div class="square-medium"><amp-fit-text width="200" height="200" layout="responsive" max-font-size="18">Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, has nisl nihil convenire et, vim at aeque inermis reprehendunt.</amp-fit-text></div>
<div class="square-large"><amp-fit-text width="200" height="200" layout="responsive" max-font-size="18">Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, has nisl nihil convenire et, vim at aeque inermis reprehendunt.</amp-fit-text></div>
