Text analyzer script

[filiptammergard]

I made a little script for getting number of characters, words and estimated reading time of currently selected text. Much easier than copying something into a text editor to see these things.

recording.mov

// Menu: Analyze Text
// Description: Select a text and see data about it
// Author: Filip Tammergård
// Twitter: @filipang
// Shortcut: cmd opt shift control t

const { countCharacters, countWords, getReadingTime } = await npm(
  "text-analyzer"
);
const { getSelectedText } = await kit("text");
const selectedText = await getSelectedText();

const characters = countCharacters(selectedText);
const words = countWords(selectedText);
const readingTime = getReadingTime(selectedText);

const readingTimeMinutes = readingTime.minutes;

show(`
<section style="margin:10px">
  <p>Characters: ${characters}</p>
  <p>Words: ${words}</p>
  <p>Reading time: ${readingTimeMinutes} minutes</p>
</section>
`);

Could be extended a lot!

Is it possible to set the size of the window that pops up with show?

Very cool!

show has a second arg for options. Options are the same options you would pass to a Browser Window

show(`Hi`, {width: 1000})

You can also display HTML in the prompt itself using this technique: #146
