Will this work from CSS as well?

Wow! What speed. Looking forward to 1.5. 💯

@ligaz Unfortunately no. We've still not decided how to implement this properly since the property is available only on some of the components. We have other similar scenarios not implemented as well.

@ligaz I spoke to soon. Actually we have such properties (font-* for example) and we can implement wrapping as well. The question here however will be should we add word-wrap or text-wrap?

I think text-wrap is deprecated.

Ok. Here is the issue: #1034

👍

Hey folks,

It seems that word-wrap is not what we want. Our Button wrapText property will simply tell if the button title will wrap or not while with CSS word-wrap you can specify if you can break word when wrapping not switching on/off the wrap itself. There is better property for this in CSS: white-space.

What do you think? How we should implement properly wrap on/off with CSS?

Thanks!

I think you can implement white-space: nowrap and normal in CSS, maybe with the difference that in NativeScript buttons the default value to be nowrap contrary to HTML which wraps everything by default. I wonder if you can also implement default stylesheets and just place the default value of button wrapping there.

The word-wrap CSS property for HTML is to specify how exactly the text wraps but is not intended to stop it from wrapping.

👍 for default stylesheets.

Thanks @bundyo! In this case I will rename this issue to Support CSS white-space: nowrap and normal.
