Contenido is a library with a set of tools to help you create your own rich text editor on top of draft-js without thinking about how to handle things.

// Custom Types
import type { State } from '../../types';

const getCharCount = (state: State) => {
  const plainText = state.getCurrentContent().getPlainText();

  const wordArray = plainText.match(/\S+/g); // Matches words according to the whitespace.

  return wordArray ? wordArray.join('').length : 0;
};

export default getCharCount;
