New features

We've improved how the Character count component works

We've added a new countType option to the Character count component. This option uses JavaScript's Intl.Segmenter object to segment text into characters or words and make counting more accurate, particularly when users input special characters or emojis.

You should consider how character or word limits are counted in your service's backend before using the countType option because you may need to adjust character or word limits.

To enable improved counting in supported browsers, you should either:

• add countType: "characters" to count user-perceived characters
• add countType: "words" to count words between word boundaries

Unsupported browsers will default to the textareaDescriptionText message shown when JavaScript is unavailable, for example:

You can enter up to 350 characters

To use Nunjucks to count characters, add countType: "characters":

  {{ govukCharacterCount({
    label: {
      text: "Can you provide more detail?"
    },
    name: "more-detail",
-   maxlength: 350
+   maxlength: 350,
+   countType: "characters"
  }) }}

To use Nunjucks to count words, add countType: "words":

  {{ govukCharacterCount({
    label: {
      text: "Can you provide more detail?"
    },
    name: "more-detail",
-   maxwords: 150
+   maxlength: 150,
+   countType: "words"
  }) }}

The Character count maxwords option and word-counting behaviour are deprecated, and we'll remove them in a future release. You must replace maxwords with maxlength when using countType: "words".
