This plug-in allows you to count characters or words, up or down. You can set a minimum or maximum goal for the counter to reach.
- Create a custom message for your counter's message
- Force character/word limit on user to prevent typing
- Works against copy/paster's!
It will insert a div with an id of the name of the input area you are counting, appended with the string "_counter".
For example, if the input you want to count is called "awesome", the id of the div that keeps track of the count will be "awesome_counter".
Simple? You bet your ass it is.
OMG you're awesome.
npm install to make sure you have everything you need.

Minify it!
Bytes are precious. Use uglifyjs word-and-character-counter.js -o jquery.word-and-character-counter.min.js to minify the output file. This
is run automatically by the Grunt build.
