Word count custom component

[maxhambraeus]

Similar to #328, I wanted to have a simple word count for files. I tried the solution given in that issue, but it still doesn't work, and I can't figure out why.

relevant sections in init.lua:

{
    -- Set lualine as statusline
    'nvim-lualine/lualine.nvim',
    -- See `:help lualine.txt`
    opts = {
      options = {
        icons_enabled = false,
        theme = 'onedark',
        component_separators = '|',
        section_separators = '',
      },
      sections = {
      lualine_a = {'mode'},
      lualine_b = {'branch', 'diff', 'diagnostics', { getWords }},
      lualine_c = {'filename'},
      lualine_x = {'encoding', 'fileformat', 'filetype'},
      lualine_y = {'progress'},
      lualine_z = {'location'}
      },
    },
  },

and

local function getWords()
  return tostring(vim.fn.wordcount().words)
end

using lazy for packages, if that matters. Any help is appreciated!

I am not a lua programmer but I just found parts of the code from somewhere and it works:

lualine_z = {
  {
    function()
      return vim.fn.wordcount().words
    end,
  },
}

Also I think for it to work you should add brackets (getWords())? idk.
