WPGraphQL Content Stats

Add some stats to WPGraphQL: total posts, word count and estimated reading time.

Introduction

This WordPress plugin adds some new fields to WPGraphQL:

• a total field is added to pageInfo: it contains the total of found posts or found users (depending on WP_Query type).
• an info field is added to ContentNode (used by posts for example): it contains itself two fields:
  • readingTime: an estimated reading time,
  • wordsCount: the number of words in the post content.

The readingTime field offers two formats:

• minutes: the returned number is a rounded estimate of reading time in minutes.
• seconds: the returned number is a rounded estimate of reading time in seconds. It allows you to add some extra logic in frontend to display the reading time (displaying minutes and seconds for example).

Requirements

• WordPress
• WPGraphQL
