【JavaScript】英単語数をカウントする

Posted at

わりと簡単に作れると思っていましたが、
スペースがあったときに1カウントとすると、スペースが2つ続いたときも1単語としてカウントされてしまうことに頭を悩ませました。

解決策

HTML

<textarea id="count-area"></textarea>
<span id="output"></span>

JavaScript

const input = document.getElementById('count-area');
input.addEventListener('keyup', countWords);

function countWords() {
  // \S+の意味は「空白、タブ、改行以外が1回以上続く」
  const spaces = input.value.match(/\S+/g);

  let words;
  if (spaces) {
    words = spaces.length;
  } else {
    words = 0;
  }

  document.getElementById('output').textContent = words + " words";
}
