Issue

LoremIpsum doesn't seem to offer an option, to specify number of words. Sometimes you want to preview how specific composable behaves, when line breaks a single time. LoremIpsum only offers "a truck load" amount of words.

So basically, I would like to be able to preview text with only 20 words, instead of 500 (that's current default word count set in LoremIpsum).

Example

I want to preview how following text breaks, but I don't want it to expand indefinitely.

Yes, I could limit it by height, but sometimes composables are more complicated than that.

@Preview
@Composable
fun Preview(@PreviewParameter(LoremIpsum::class) text: String) {
    Text(text)
}

Current workarounds

A. Only take first n characters

@Preview
@Composable
fun Preview(@PreviewParameter(LoremIpsum::class) text: String) {
    Text(text.take(100))
}

B. Manually instantiate LoremIpsum

@Preview
@Composable
fun Preview() {
    val text = LoremIpsum(20).values.first()
    Text(text)
}

Potential solutions

Maybe short version of LoremIpsum could solve this use case in a simple way? E.g. LoremIpsumShort?

Marked as fixed.

LoremIpsum is now an open class, so you can override it similar to CollectionPreviewParameterProvider


class LoremIpsum20Words : LoremIpsum(20)

@Preview
@Composable
fun Preview(@PreviewParameter(LoremIpsum20Words::class) text: String) {
    Text(text)
}
