How to calculate the number of times a specific keyword appears in a string or array?

In the practice of AnQiCMS content management, we often need to perform refined analysis and optimization of website content.Among them, calculating the number of times a specific keyword appears in an article, title, or dataset is a basic and important requirement.In order to evaluate the SEO keyword density, analyze the content quality, or conduct data statistics, AnQiCMS provides a convenient and efficient solution.This article will delve into how to easily achieve this goal by using the built-in features of AnQiCMS.

Core Tool:countFilter parsing

AnQiCMS provides a template engine namedcountThe practical filter, which is the core tool for us to solve the problem of keyword frequency statistics.countThe filter design is simple and can efficiently count the frequency of a specified keyword in a string or array (slice/array).

Its basic usage is very intuitive:

{{ obj|count:关键词 }}

HereobjRepresents the string or array you want to count, and关键词is the text you want to count the occurrences of.

Count keywords in a string

When we want to count the number of times a keyword appears in a text, we can pass the text variable directly tocountthe filter. It is worth noting that,countThe filter matches strings usingexact word matchlogic. This means it will look for substrings that are exactly the same as the keywords you provide.

For example, if you have a text “Welcome to AnQiCMS (AnQiCMS), AnQiCMS is a good helper for your content management,” and you want to count the number of occurrences of the keyword “CMS”:

{% set myString = "欢迎使用安企CMS（AnQiCMS），AnQiCMS是您内容管理的好帮手。" %}
{{ myString|count:"CMS" }}

This code will return2because it found two exact matches for "CMS".

Count keywords in the array

countThe filter applies to array data types. In an array, it will iterate over each element and check if the element matches the keyword you provideentirely equal.

Assuming we have an array composed of string elements, such as throughsplitorfieldsa filter splits a text into a list of words:

{% set sentence = "AnQiCMS provides efficient and customizable content management solutions." %}
{% set wordsArray = sentence|fields %} {# fields 过滤器将字符串按空格拆分成数组 #}
{{ wordsArray|count:"content" }}

Here, wordsArrayit will befieldsprocessed by the filter["AnQiCMS", "provides", "efficient", "and", "customizable", "content", "management", "solutions."]Then,{{ wordsArray|count:"content" }}will return1It found an array element that matches 'content' completely.

It should be emphasized that the array count is still full-word matching. If there is 'AnQiCMS' in the array and you try to count 'AnQi', the result will be0Because 'AnQi' did not appear as an independent element.

Application scenarios: Make data analysis more accurate.

UnderstoodcountAfter learning the basic usage of the filter, let's take a look at its specific application in AnQiCMS template development and content management.

   {% archiveDetail articleContent with name="Content" %}

   {% set keywordToCount = "AnQiCMS" %} {# 你想统计的关键词 #}
   <p>关键词 "{{ keywordToCount }}" 在文章中出现了 {{ articleContent|count:keywordToCount }} 次。</p>
   

2. Title and description keyword checkTo ensure that the website's title (Title) and description (Description) comply with SEO strategies, we can quickly check the presence of specific keywords within them.

   {% archiveDetail articleTitle with name="Title" %}
   {% archiveDetail articleDescription with name="Description" %}
   {% set seoKeyword = "内容管理" %} {# 假设要检查的SEO关键词 #}
   
   <p>标题中 "{{ seoKeyword }}" 出现次数：{{ articleTitle|count:seoKeyword }}</p>
   <p>描述中 "{{ seoKeyword }}" 出现次数：{{ articleDescription|count:seoKeyword }}</p>
   

3. Count of specific identifier in list dataIn certain specific scenarios, for example, if you have an array composed of specific identifiers (such as tag ID lists, product attribute code lists), and you need to count the occurrences of a specific identifier,countThe filter can also play a role.

   For example, if you have a variable namedproductTagsArray containing multiple product tag names:

   {% set productTags = ["电子产品", "智能家居", "手机", "电子产品", "配件"]|list %} {# 假设这是一个动态生成的标签数组 #}
   <p>“电子产品”标签出现的次数：{{ productTags|count:"电子产品" }}</p>
