The RemainingCharacters [widget](https://glossary.magento.com/widget/) allows you to display the remaining characters count for a text field.

The RemainingCharacters widget can be used only in the frontend area.

The RemainingCharacters widget source is [`<Magento_Catalog_module_dir>/view/frontend/web/js/product/remaining-characters.js`][].

## Initialize the RemainingCharacters widget

For information about how to initialize a widget in a JS component or `.phtml` template, see the [Initialize JavaScript][] topic.

The RemainingCharacters widget is instantiated with:

```javascript
$("#remaining-characters").remainingCharacters({
maxLength: 5,
noteSelector: '.note',
counterSelector: '.note .character-counter'
});``
```

Where:

- `#remaining-characters` is the selector of the element which will display RemainingCharacters.

The following example shows a PHTML file using the script:

```html
<script>
require([
'jquery',
'Magento_Catalog/js/product/remaining-characters'
], function ($) {
'use strict';

$("#remaining-characters").remainingCharacters({
maxLength: 5,
noteSelector: '.note',
counterSelector: '.note .character-counter'
});
});
</script>
```

## Options

- [counterSelector](#counterselector)
- [errorClass](#errorclass)
- [maxLength](#maxlength)
- [noDisplayClass](#nodisplayclass)
- [noteSelector](#noteselector)
- [remainingText](#remainingtext)
- [tooManyText](#toomanytext)

### `counterSelector`

The selector of counter element.

**Type**: String

**Default value**: `undefined`

### `errorClass`

The error class that appends to the [note element](#noteselector) if the [maxLength](#maxlength) is exceeded.

**Type**: String

**Default value**: `'mage-error'`

### `maxLength`

The maximum length of the text for the field.

**Type**: Integer

**Default value**: `undefined`

### `noDisplayClass`

The class that appends to the [counter element](#counterselector) if the field value is empty.

**Type**: String

**Default value**: `'no-display'`

### `noteSelector`

The selector of note element. The note element contains the [counter element](#counterselector) and the [error class](#errorclass) is added to the note element when the [maxLength](#maxlength) is exceeded.

**Type**: String

**Default value**: `undefined`

### `remainingText`

The text that shows in the [counter element](#counterselector) if the [maxLength](#maxlength) is not exceeded.

**Type**: String

**Default value**: `$t('remaining')`

### `tooManyText`

The text that shows in the [counter element](#counterselector) if the [maxLength](#maxlength) is exceeded.

**Type**: String

**Default value**: `$t('too many')`

## Code sample

This example shows the text field with the note that shows you a message about the remaining characters.

```html
<input id="remaining-characters" type="text"/>
<p class="note">
<span class="character-counter"></span>
</p>
<script>
require([
"jquery",
"Magento_Catalog/js/product/remaining-characters"
], function ($) {
'use strict';

$('#remaining-characters').remainingCharacters({
maxLength: 5,
noteSelector: '.note',
counterSelector: '.note .character-counter'
});
});
</script>
```
