SpiceItUp

2. Word Count Challenge

A one-stop-shop that counts your text and also takes a block of text to give you great synonyms and related words!

Description

SpiceItUp has a couple of features:

• Character count (whitespaces count)
• Word count
• Paragraph count
• Sentence count
• Bigrams count (unique pairs of adjacent words)
• Vanity count (how many times you've used "I" divided by sentences you've written)
• Submit the block of text to have every word checked for possible synonyms

The "Spice It Up?" button consumes the Word Associations API, checking for related words and synonyms. This is perfect for essays or emails that you are just hoping to spice up. No need to pick out specific words. If you input the text and see something you like, use it!

Getting Started

Setup && Start

• Install node on your machine
• Install yarn on your machine with npm install -g yarn
• Clone down the repository
• Navigate into the root folder of the repository and run yarn to install dependencies
• Run yarn test to check the tests
• Run yarn build to create a bundle.js development build
• Run yarn start to launch the server on localhost:3000

IMPORTANT

You will not be able to use the "Spice It Up?" button unless you have access to the Word Association API since its access is locked by an API key. If you don't want to sign up for RapidAPI, please contact me, and I can share the key with you.

Testing

This application has test coverage of its counting functions to ensure input text is being correctly parsed.
