CKEditor Word Count & Character Count

Description

CKEditor Wordcount can be enabled per filter format, and will show you the paragraph and word count, as well as count spaces as characters or count HTML as characters if you select those options. You can also set a maximum limit on total words or total characters, which will prevent input in CKEditor after that limit.

Please note that while you can have a maximum limit imposed by this plugin, do not lean on that for any real character limit validation.

Dependencies

This module requires the core CKEditor module and CKEditor Notification module.

How to install

Manual installation

Download the plugin from http://ckeditor.com/addon/wordcount
Place the plugin in the root libraries folder (/libraries/ckeditor-wordcount-plugin).

Finally, enable CKEditor Wordcount module in the Drupal admin. Each filter format will now have a config tab for this plugin.

Composer-based installation

Method 1 - using composer-merge-plugin

This method has the advantage of placing the maintenance of the plugin version on the hands of the module maintainers. To add the composer-merge-plugin, run composer require wikimedia/composer-merge-plugin.

Then, update the extra section of the root composer.json file as follows:

    "extra": {
        "merge-plugin": {
            "include": [
                "[web-root]/modules/contrib/ckwordcount/composer.libraries.json"
            ]
        }
    }

Replace [web-root] with the value of your web root folder (usually web). Run composer require drupal/ckwordcount w8tcha/ckeditor-wordcount-plugin, the WordCount Plugin will be installed to the libraries folder automatically.

Method 2 - using a custom repository

Copy the following into the root composer.json file's repository key

    "repositories": [
        {
            "type": "package",
            "package": {
                "name": "w8tcha/ckeditor-wordcount-plugin",
                "version": "1.17.8",
                "type": "drupal-library",
                "dist": {
                    "url": "https://github.com/w8tcha/CKEditor-WordCount-Plugin/releases/download/v1.17.8/CKEditor-WordCount-Plugin.zip",
                    "type": "zip"
                }
            }
        }
    ]

Run composer require drupal/ckwordcount w8tcha/ckeditor-wordcount-plugin, the WordCount Plugin will be installed to the libraries folder automatically as well.

Uninstallation

Uninstall the module from 'Administer >> Modules'.
