Problem to solve

Sometimes working with Views can be a challenge, in some cases you want to modify the values or process the content of the field.

Many developers use the preprocess functions, or alter the query of the view, however there is another option: twig filters.

The Goals:

Being able to calculate the reading time of any given node (body field).

The field needs to output: "5 min read", "9 min read", depending on the word count of the node.
