md-stats v1.0.3

Markdown Stats

A simple tool to report on statistics of Markdown file content within the given directory (recursively).

Useful for reporting how much documentation exists within a project.

Available stats are:

• Markdown file count
• character count
• word count

Usage

CLI

If the directory is omitted, it will run for the current directory.

If the --verbose flag is present, it will also display stats on a per-file basis.

Example

npx md-stats ./path/to/files --verbose

Node.js

The exported function can also be used in a Node.js environment, which will return the raw data.

Example

const getMarkdownStats = require("md-stats");

const stats = await getMarkdownStats("./path/to/files");

The data returned is in the following format:

{
  characters: number,
  words: number,
  files: [
    {
      name: string,
      characters: number,
      words: number
    }
  ]
}
