Adds text composition fields to all remark nodes in your Gatsby project. Supports both MD and MDX!

Install the plugin with npm or yarn.

# npm
npm install gatsby-remark-text-composition

# yarn
yarn add gatsby-remark-text-composition

To use the plugin with regular markdown files, add it to the gatsby-transformer-remark plugins array in gatsby-config.js.

// gatsby-config.js
  ...
  plugins: [
    ...
    {
      resolve: "gatsby-transformer-remark",
      options: {
        plugins: [
          "gatsby-remark-text-composition",
          // ...
        ],
      },
    },
  ]

To use the plugin with MDX, add it as a regular plugin in gatsby-config.js.

// gatsby-config.js
  ...
  plugins: [
    ...
    'gatsby-remark-text-composition',
  ],

The gatsby-remark-text-composition data is queried in different ways depending on if you're using markdown or MDX.

If you are transforming markdown with gatsby-transformer-remark, you can query the text composition data like this:

const result = await graphql(`
	query {
		allMarkdownRemark {
			nodes {
				fields {
					readingTime {
						milliseconds
						minutes
						words
					}
				}
			}
		}
	}
`)

If you are using MDX with gatsby-plugin-mdx, you can query the text composition data like this:

export const query = graphql`
	query {
		allMdx {
			nodes {
				fields {
					readingTime {
						milliseconds
						minutes
						words
					}
				}
			}
		}
	}
`

The fields available in gatsby-remark-text-composition are explained below.

• minutes: Estimated reading time in minutes (number).
• milliseconds: Estimated reading time in milliseconds (number).
• words: Calculated amount of words, which is used when estimating reading time (number).
