    Many times we run in a condition that the whole text is taking to much of space, so we need to show data upto certain limit and end it to ...(3 dots). 

    Usually we write code to check the length of the string and then trimming it, angular made it very simple. We have 2 ways to do it:

    1) Write this code directly in the place where we need to show the data.

    {{ myString | limitTo: 20 }}{{myString.length > 20 ? '...' : ''}}

    2) Using filters:

    angular.module('ng').filter('cut', function () {
            return function (value, wordwise, max, tail) {
                if (!value) return '';
    
                max = parseInt(max, 10);
                if (!max) return value;
                if (value.length <= max) return value;
    
                value = value.substr(0, max);
                if (wordwise) {
                    var lastspace = value.lastIndexOf(' ');
                    if (lastspace != -1) {
                      //Also remove . and , so its gives a cleaner result.
                      if (value.charAt(lastspace-1) == '.' || value.charAt(lastspace-1) == ',') {
                        lastspace = lastspace - 1;
                      }
                      value = value.substr(0, lastspace);
                    }
                }
    
                return value + (tail || ' ');
            };
        });
