A plugin for Strapi that provides the ability to calculate the reading time for a piece of content
The installation requirements are the same as Strapi itself and can be found in the documentation on the Quick Start page in the Prerequisites info card.
- v4.x.x
NOTE: While this plugin may work with the older Strapi versions, they are not supported, it is always recommended to use the latest version of Strapi.
The plugin configuration is stored in a config file located at ./config/plugins.js.
Please note that the field referenced in the configuration file must exist. You can add it using the Strapi Admin UI. Also note that adding a field at a later point in time will require you to unpublish, change, save and republish the entry/entries in order for this plugin to work correctly.
A sample configuration
module.exports = ({ env }) => ({
// ...
"reading-time": {
enabled: true,
config: {
contentTypes: {
article: {
field: 'readingTime',
references: 'content',
},
},
},
},
// ...
});This will listen for any record created or updated in the article content type and set the display time to read value for the readingTime field automatically based on the content field.
