Count words, emojis, letters …

Want to count words instead? Or emojis? Or the letter a? Sure, no problem. You can access the textContent directly and count whatever you’re into.

new Editor({
  onUpdate({ editor }) {
    const wordCount = editor.state.doc.textContent.split(' ').length

    console.log(wordCount)
  },
})
