Implement Word Count Feature for CKEditor 5 in textfield_counter Module

Test the MR-8 changes with CKE-5 and Drupal-10 and its working fine as the feature is expected

Moving the issue to RTBC

This one has one small bug, though. The counter works fine for words, while entering text. But as soon as you clear the field, "Used" value is still 1, see the screenshots.

The issue is around:

var rawInput = $("<div/>").html($(this).val());
input = rawInput.text().trim().replace(/(\r?\n|\r)+/g, " ");
var words = input.split(" ");
currentLength = words.length;

When you split an empty string, you get an array with one empty string. So, var words = input.split(" ") returns [""]. Therefore, the length is 1.

The solution is simple though, we just need a check for rawInput.text(), and if it's not empty, we can proceed to sanitise its input and split it.

I'll submit a patch for that one today.

Hello,
I have tested this feature on my local. It looks good to me. Attaching screenshot for reference. Moving this to RTBC.

This issue's MR needs to be rebased against 2.x. Thanks.

@mably, I don't think it is a straightforward rebase now, is it? It looks like the 2.x branch uses vanilla JavaScript now, whereas this work was based on the code that used jQuery.

I am marking this as “needs work”.

Yep, the MR must be slightly updated to work without jQuery but it shouldn't be too difficult.

I plan to work on it this weekend, unless someone else takes it up first.
