Get text width about lightning HOT 4 CLOSED

Well since everything is a texture you can do the following:

// force a texture load
this.tag("MyTextLabel").loadTexture();
// get width of the texture
const width = this.tag("MyTextLabel").renderWidth;

Hi @yuraantonov11 , I don't think there's straightforward answer to that. What do you need such information for?

from lightning.

@g-zachar, I want to get the text width because I need to set the width of the next element after the text.
In this picture, I have a dynamic label length and width.

@yuraantonov11 You should be able to build it using flex layout and not bother manually calculating width.
