#metalsmith-word-count

Metalsmith plugin to compute wordcount / average reading time of all paragraphs in a html file.

Based on assemble-middleware-wordcount by Jon Schlinkert
Extracted from majodev.github.io.

As part the my note "Extracting libs from a node.js project: Publishing my metalsmith plugins".

Installation

npm install --save metalsmith-word-count

Usage

var Metalsmith = require("metalsmith");
var wordcount = require("metalsmith-word-count");


Metalsmith(__dirname)
  // html files are available (e.g. state when markdown was compiled)
  .use(wordcount())
  // ...

Should also work in similar fashion with the metalsmith.json counterpart.

Options

wordcount accepts an hash to provide a few customization options.

metaKeyCount (optional)

String: Name of the key that will store the word count in a file's metadata.
default: wordCount

metaKeyReadingTime (optional)

String: Name of the key that will store the estimated reading time in a file's metadata.
default: readingTime

speed (optional)

int: How fast one normally reads, see http://onforb.es/1crk3KF
default: 300

seconds (optional)

bool: If readingTime should be outputted in seconds
default: false

raw (optional)

bool: If readingTime should be returned as raw integer (in minutes or seconds)
default: false

Full example with options set

Metalsmith(__dirname)
  // html files are available (e.g. state when markdown was compiled)
  .use(wordcount({
    metaKeyCount: "wordCount",
    metaKeyReadingTime: "readingTime",
    speed: 300,
    seconds: false,
    raw: false
  }))
  // ...
