Medium's like reading time estimation.
reading-time helps you estimate how long an article will take to read.
It works perfectly with plain text, but also with markdown or html.
Note that it's focused on performance and simplicity, so the number of words it will extract from other formats than plain text can vary a little. But this is an estimation right?
npm install reading-time --productionvar readingTime = require('reading-time');
var stats = readingTime(text);
// ->
// stats: {
// text: '1 min read',
// minutes: 1,
// time: 60000,
// words: 200
// }var readingTime = require('reading-time/stream');
fs.createReadStream('foo').pipe(readingTime).on('data', function(stats) {
// ...
});readingTime(text, options)
text: the text to analyzeoptions.wordsPerMinute: the words per minute an average reader can read (default: 200)options.wordBound: a function than return if a character is considered as a word bound (default: spaces, new lines and tabulations)
