About

Simple way to count characters, words, sentences, and paragraphs in your Vue apps.

Pass your text as a prop to the provided component, along with a unique elementId, and register for the change event to get real-time count updates.

Usage Example

import VueCountable from 'vue-countable'
Vue.component('vue-countable', VueCountable)

<!-- In your html - Make sure the elementId prop is unique on your page. -->
<vue-countable
    :text="myText" // Your text variable
    :elementId="'myId'" // A unique string id
    @change="change" // Register for the change event
></vue-countable>

<!-- The @change function -->
change (event) {
    console.log(event)
    // event.words to get word count, etc.
}

Now, anytime (and on component initialization) your myText variable changes, vue-countable will emit an event containing the details of your text. Register for this event as shown above to get your real-time counts.

Props

prop	type	description
text	String	Text you want to track.
elementId	String	A unique id for your tracking instance. This allows you to have multiple different counts on the same page.
hardReturns	Boolean (Optional, defaults to false)	Require two returns to count paragraphs
stripTags	Boolean (Optional, defaults to false)	Remove HTML before counting
ignore	Array of Strings (Optional, defaults to empty)	Characters to be ignored.
