This plug-in allows you to count characters or words, up or down. You can set a minimum or maximum goal for the counter to reach.
- Create a custom message for your counter's message
- Force character/word limit on user to prevent typing
- Works against copy/paster's!
It will insert a div
with an id of the name of the input
area you are counting, appended with the string "_counter".
For example, if the input you want to count is called "awesome", the id of the div that keeps track of the count will be "awesome_counter".
Simple? You bet your ass it is.
OMG you're awesome.
npm install
to make sure you have everything you need.
Build with grunt
if you have it installed globally, otherwise npm run build
.
Be nice and follow the jsrc rules. These are checked by the Grunt build.
If your text editor doesn't use it automatically, you can run it using jscs jquery.word-and-character-counter.js
.
Minify it!
Bytes are precious. Use uglifyjs word-and-character-counter.js -o jquery.word-and-character-counter.min.js
to minify the output file. This
is run automatically by the Grunt build.
