Requirements
------------

[](#requirements)

This plugin requires Craft CMS 3.0.0-beta.23 or later.

Installation
------------

[](#installation)

To install the plugin, search for Liquid Letters in the plugin store or follow these instructions.

1. Open your terminal and go to your Craft project:

    ```
     cd /path/to/project

    ```
2. Then tell Composer to load the plugin:

    ```
     composer require indigoviking/liquid-letters

    ```
3. In the Control Panel, go to Settings → Plugins and click the “Install” button for Liquid Letters.

Liquid Letters Overview
-----------------------

[](#liquid-letters-overview)

Liquid Letters adds Twig filters to count words, give reading times, and convert text to list items.

Using Word Count
----------------

[](#using-word-count)

`{{ entry.field | wordCount }}`

Will output

`100`

Using Read Time
---------------

[](#using-read-time)

The `readTime` filter requires a timing parameter of seconds(`sec`), minutes(`min`), hours(`hr`), or days(`day`, just for fun!).

###### Seconds

[](#seconds)

`{{ entry.field | readTime('sec')`

###### Minuts

[](#minuts)

`{{ entry.field | readTime('min')`

###### Hours

[](#hours)

`{{ entry.field | readTime('hr')`

###### Days

[](#days)

`{{ entry.field | readTime('day')`

The output will be the number of the duration to read. If no timing or an invalid timing is submitted, the filter will return the text `timing invalid`.

Using To List
-------------

[](#using-to-list)

`| toList` will convert a multiline text field (rich text) into an unordered list.

If `{{ entry.field }}` is: `

The quick brown fox...

...an oft repeated sententce.

Much ado about this.` `{{ entry.field | toList }}` will return: `The quick brown fox......an oft repeated sentence.Much ado about this.`

|toList accepts 1 parameter to change its output. Passing 'ol' will output a numbered list. `{{ entry.field | toList('ol') }}` will return: `The quick brown fox......an oft repeated sentence.Much ado about this.`

Passing 'li' will only return the list items. `{{ entry.field | toList('li') }}` will return: `The quick brown fox......an oft repeated sentence.Much ado about this.`
