autoFit is missing 'Shrink text on overflow' variation?

[cdutson]

I've recently been trying to add text to a slide that is basically html content. I simplify the content using innerText and inject it.

const text = data.element.innerText; // element is an html div
slide.addText(text, { x: '0%', y: '0%', w: '100%', h: '100%', autoFit: true, valign: 'top' });

I expected this to shrink the text to fit within the box, but instead the text overflows out of the box (It's a lot of text). Looking into powerpoint itself, I found that within the text box's autofit options, there are a total of 3: Do not Autofit, Shrink text on overflow, and Resize shape to fit text. From what I understand, setting autoFit to false equates to Do not autofit and true equates to Resize shape to fit text. I'm looking for the middle option: Shrink text on overflow.

Is this currently possible with the library? I've read through the docs but nothing standing out to me.

Thanks,

Welp not 30 seconds after posting this and digging into the source code, I find shrinkText which is an undocumented property you can add to the props.

As such: slide.addText(text, { x: '0%', y: '0%', w: '100%', h: '100%', shrinkText: true, valign: 'top' }); achieves what I wanted.

I'd suggest updating the documentation to expose this prop.

Hi @cdutson,

Thanks for letting me know about this.

I've updated the docs to include shrinkText.
