Countable is a tiny, zero-dependency JavaScript library (~1KB) that adds live paragraph, word, sentence, and character counting to HTML elements. It works as a Node/CommonJS module, AMD module, or global script and updates counts whenever an element's value changes.

Use cases

• count words in a textarea as the user types
• show live character counts on form inputs
• count paragraphs and sentences in editable HTML elements
• add a word counter to a comment box or editor
• get one-off text statistics for an element's content

When to choose

• you need lightweight live text counting in the browser with no dependencies
• you want paragraph, word, sentence, and character stats from a simple API
• you need a library that works via npm, AMD, or a global script tag

When to avoid

• you need rich text analysis beyond basic counting
• you need a framework-specific component (React/Vue) rather than a plain JS function
• the project requires actively maintained dependencies or recent updates
