{{ post.content | reading_time }}
{# outputs '1 minute, 59 seconds' #}
The default words_per_minute count is 250, this value is based on the average reading speed which is between 230 - 280 words per minute. You can control the words_per_minute count by setting the first argument:
{{ post.content | reading_time(200) }}
{# outputs '2 minutes, 29 seconds' #}
The reading_time filter can also output raw data, this allows you control how the data is displayed:
{{ post.content | reading_time(raw = true) }}
{# outputs { minutes: 1, seconds: 59 } #}
{% set reading_time = post.content | reading_time(raw = true) %}
{{ reading_time.minutes }} {# outputs '1' #}
{{ reading_time.seconds }} {# outputs '59' #}
