Free Character Counter

A character counter is a tool that will calculate how many characters there are in a piece of text. It does this by going over all the individual characters and incrementing a counter.

You might need to know the count of characters during an automated test, to make certain assertions when validating a specific flow. For example, you might expect a website or mobile app to return a piece of text. Using the character counter, you can make sure the text has the right number of characters.

You can use the .length property of any string with Javascript. This property will return the amount of characters in the given string.

const myString = "this is a piece of text";
const characterCount = myString.length;
