[Bug] ellipsis when render custom html in list operation

[LucaMarconiItechEra]

Bug report

What I did

I'm trying to show a custom html in list operation, calling a function in model. List: Model: Helper:

What I expected to happen

I expect the outcome to be shown in full, without ... for all fields. This is abnormal behavior. I believe that by default you should always show the entire string or value and intervene to cut if necessary

What happened

the ellipsis is added, even though the string is not particularly long. (in the doc I read that the default is 50)

What I've already tried to fix it

Adding ->limit(50) in column

Is it a bug in the latest version of Backpack?

After I run composer update backpack/crud the bug... is it still there? YES

Backpack, Laravel, PHP, DB version

When I run php artisan backpack:version the output is:

Hey @LucaMarconiItechEra

You have not defined the column type. The return value is a string thus it is acting as a text column.

To show custom HTML you can use custom_html column. This has:

• No limit attribute applied
• It's not escaped by default.
• It also supports prefix, suffix & default attributes just in case they are helpful to you.

I also noticed that you want to render the model function's return value. For that, use model_function column.

I also tried the text column and the following worked for me to dodge ellipsis:

$this->crud->column([
            'name'  => 'my_custom_html',
            'label' => 'Custom HTML',
            'type'  => 'text',
            'escaped' => false,
            'limit' => 100,
        ])->value( function ($model){
            return '<span class="text-danger">Something Big is coming</span>';
        });

I hope this helps😊
