Description

Im using react-truncate-html with a slider on my page where a user can define the amount of lines. However the Truncate component seems to cache the data. As the data doesn't change, only the amount of lines it doesn't update to the new amount of lines.

Is it possible to take the change in properties into account?

Research direction

Start by reproducing the issue with the Truncate component while changing only its lines property, then trace how the component handles updated props and cached data. Done means the rendered truncation changes to match the new line count without changing the source content; the issue names no file or test path.
