JavaScript - A simple character count according to Twitter rules

Question

I had to implement the remaining character count functionality (according to Twitter rules).

Can someone point me to JS library/function I can use directly?

Wait, so what are you asking? If you're looking to see how it can be improved try [Code Review](https://codereview.stackexchange.com). — gcampbell, Jul 04 '16 at 15:20

Twitter provide the Twitter Text JavaScript library - it contains their official character count.

twttr.txt.getTweetLength() is the function you need.

Ok. I did not know we could call `getTweetLength()` function to achieve the same. Thanks. – issprof Jul 06 '16 at 06:17
