Description
Adds word/character/paragraph count to the CKEditor status bar (can optionally enforce a word/character limit)
Configured via Text formats and Editors (/admin/config/content/formats).
Requires the ckeditor wordcount library - example composer.json for that (put this in your 'repositories' section):
"ckeditor.wordcount": { "type": "package", "package": { "name": "ckeditor/wordcount", "version": "1.17.4", "type": "drupal-library", "extra": { "installer-name": "wordcount" }, "dist": { "url": "https://download.ckeditor.com/wordcount/releases/wordcount_1.17.4.zip", "type": "zip" }, "require": { "composer/installers": "~1.0" } } },
and then require:
"ckeditor/wordcount": "1.17.4",
Patch needed:

(to ensure modules gives browser correct path of plugin.js - if your ckeditor input disappears, check console.log and it's probably that)
The notification module is a dependency.
