A medium's like reading time estimator with internationalization support.
Reading Time Estimator was created to provide an estimate of how long to read an article or blog as seen on medium.
With NPM
npm install reading-time-estimatoror Yarn
yarn add reading-time-estimatorThe api is fairly simple. Here are the types definition for this module.
It is a simple function that takes the data as a required argument with the words per minute and locale as optional arguments.
Per default the locale is set to english en.
Per default the word per minute is set to 300.
At the moment there is only 8 supported locales: en, fr, es, pt-br, cn, ja, de and tr. If a
locale does not exist, it will fallback to en.
Try it live here
import { readingTime } from 'reading-time-estimator'
const text = 'some text to parse'
// default options
const result = readingTime(text, 10)
// output:
// {
// minutes: 4,
// words: 43,
// text: `4 min read`
// }
// with french locale
const result = readingTime(text, 10, 'fr')
// output:
// {
// minutes: 4,
// words: 43,
// text: `4 min de lecture`
// }This package does not offer internationalization support which was a must for me.
