ng-readingtime

Just an angular.js directive to get reading time of given text

Install

bower install ng-readingtime

or download readingtime.js or dist/ng-readingtime.min.js. Include the readingtime.js script provided in bower_components and add ngReadingTime in your app's dependencies.

Usage

You can use as directive:

<p>
  Reading time: <span ng-reading-time text-to-read="text"></span>
</p>

or as service:

.directive('myCustomDirective', ['readingTime', function(readingTime) {
  return {
    // ... skipped code
    link: function() {
      scope.result = readingTime.get(text, {
        wordsPerMinute: 210,
        format: 'text_only'
      });
    }
  }
}]);

This directive has also two customizable attributes: wordsPerMinute and format. The first represents the words that the user can reads in a minute (default is 210) and the second is the output format. At the moment ng-readingtime supports only 2 formats:

• text_only: string like "readable in 5 minutes and 20 seconds"
• value_only: object with minutes and seconds

Todo

• Add internationalization to textual output
• Add graphical output
