Counter

Counter

Shows word and character counts in the status bar. Updates automatically on every editor change.

Counts plain text from the document (whitespace is normalized). No toolbar button — stats appear in the status bar as soon as the plugin is loaded.

Load the bundle

<script src="/assets/redactor/redactor.js"></script>

const app = Redactor('#entry', {
    plugins: ['counter']
});

This plugin has no options.

Fired after each recount.

app.on('counter', ({ data }) => {
    console.log(data.words, data.characters);
});

Payload:

Recalculates stats, updates the status bar, and emits the counter event.

app.counter.count();
