Default: undefined
Define seconds: true
in the option to display seconds and minutes. Example: 7 min, 47 sec
. (by default time is rendered in 1 minute increments, e.g. 8 min
).
placement
Type: String
Default: prepend
Determines whether the wordcount and reading time will be prepended or appended. Example:
selector
Type: String
Default: .wordcount
The selector to target for the element that wraps the content that contains the words to count.
countSelector
Type: String
Default: .label-wordcount
The selector to use for the element that will render the wordcount.
timeSelector
Type: String
Default: .label-reading-time
The selector to use for the element that will render the estimated reading time.
Usage Examples
Basic example
In your templates
class="wordcount"
must wrap the content that the plugin should run againstclass="label-wordcount"
on the element that should render the wordcount.class="label-reading-time"
on the element that should render the reading time.
<!-- Blog Posts --> words read {{> body }}
Rendered HTML
<!-- Blog Posts --> 1561 words 7 min read In deserunt venison doner velit cow pastrami magna dolore ut jerky proident esse laborum. Fatback strip steak biltong tri-tip beef pork belly spare ribs in ut capicola. Sunt qui t-bone jerky est culpa.

Change selectors
The default selector is .wordcount
. You can change this in the options as follows:
options: plugins: 'assemble-contrib-wordcount' wordcount: selector: '.foo' countSelector: '.bar' timeSelector: '.baz'
And in your templates:
<!-- Blog Posts --> {{> post }}
Then in post.hbs
:
<!-- Post --> Breaking News words read
Display seconds
In the plugin's options, define seconds: true
:
options: plugins: 'assemble-contrib-wordcount' wordcount: seconds: true
The result will look something like this:
1561 words7 minutes, 48 seconds read
If less than 1 minute, the results will look something like this:
12 words2 seconds read
Placement
By default, wordcount and reading time are prepended to the text node of the specified element. Example:
1561 words7 minutes, 48 seconds read
You can change this to append
in the options:
options: wordcount: placement: 'append'
And this template:
Words: Estimated reading time:
Would result in:
Words: 1561Estimated reading time: 8 minutes
