Ellipsis with transition

Time:10-06

For a project, I'm trying to use the CSS property text-overflow: ellipsis in order to complete the following animation. However, when I'm trying to apply this property, with white-space: nowrap and overflow: hidden, on .card-dish__info, the three dots don't appear and the overflowing text is hidden behind the checkmark and price.

When I tried to apply this property on .card-dish and .card-dish__byline, the checkmark animation is directly blocked. I also tried another advice of limiting the width of .card-dish__info, but it also doesn't work...

Here is my code:

.card-dish {
  display: flex;
  justify-content: space-between;
  background-color: white;
  border-radius: 15px;
  margin-bottom: 15px;
  width: 340px;
  overflow: hidden;
  cursor: pointer;
  box-shadow: 3px 3px 13px 1px rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.1);
}

.card-dish__info {
  display: flex;
  flex-flow: column wrap;
  margin: 10px 0 10px 15px;
  
  white-space: nowrap;
  overflow: hidden;
  text-overflow: ellipsis;
}

.card-dish__heading {
  display: inline;
  margin: 0;
  font-family: Roboto;
  font-size: 16px;
  font-weight: bold;
  color: black;
}

.card-dish__byline,
.card-dish__price {
  margin: 5px 0 0 0;
  font-family: Roboto;
  font-size: 14px;
  font-weight: normal;
  color: black;
}

.card-dish__check {
  display: flex;
}

.card-dish__price {
  margin: 34px 0 5px 0;
}

.card-dish__checkmark {
  background-color: #99e2d0;
  border-radius: 0 15px 15px 0;
  width: 60px;
  margin: 0 -61px 0 15px;
  transition: margin-right 1.5s;
}

.card-dish:hover .card-dish__checkmark {
  margin-right: 0;
}

I thank in advance anyone who will take the time to help me.

The problem is that the width of the .card-dish__byline doesn't decrease in order for the text-overflow to take place. You should also add the text-overflow: ellipsis to the .card-dish__byline. Add this to your css:

.card-dish__byline {
  overflow: hidden;
  text-overflow: ellipsis;
  width: 280px;
  transition: width 1.5s;
}
.card-dish:hover .card-dish__byline {
  width: 230px;
}
