Collection-count Tag

This tag is a clone of the collection tag but with one big difference: it only returns the total number of entries that match your set of filters.

Overview

This tag's only purpose is to fetch the number of the entries in a collection that match your set of filtering parameters without the need for a tag pair/loop.

Example

There are {{ collection:count in="pogs" }} pogs in this site.
{{-- Using Antlers Blade Components --}}
There are <collection:count in="pogs" /> pogs in this site.
 
{{-- Using Fluent Tags --}}
There are {{ Statamic::tag('collection:count')->in('pogs') }} pogs in this site.
There are 6201 pogs in this site.

You could do the same thing inside a regular collection tag by aliasing the results to a single variable and using the count modifier.

{{ collection:blog as="entries" }}
There are {{ entries | count }} pogs in this site.
{{ /collection:blog }}
<statamic:collection:blog
  as="entries"
>
{{-- This example calls the ->count() method on a Collection instance. --}}
There are {{ $entries->count() }} pogs in this site.
 
{{-- This example uses the count modifier. --}}
There are {{ Statamic::modify($entries)->count()->fetch() }} pogs in this site.
 
</statamic:collection:blog>
