owoify_erl

Turning your worst nightmare into a Rebar3 package on Hex.

• Hex package

This is an Erlang port of mohan-cao's owoify-js, which will help you turn any string into nonsensical babyspeak similar to LeafySweet's infamous Chrome extension.

Just like my other Owoify ports, three levels of owoness are available:

1. owo (default): The most vanilla one.
2. uwu: The moderate one.
3. uvu: Litewawwy unweadabwal.

Please refer to the original owoify-js repository for more information.

Using a Hex package written in Elixir with Rebar3 is not really straightforward. This Erlang port should make the process easier should you ever need owoifying something in Erlang.

Reason for development

Because Erlang is an old yet still cool language and it deserves a owoify package, as using an Elixir package with Rebar3 in Erlang is not really straightforward. I also found Erlang's Prolog-like syntax can be terser sometimes.

Installation

owoify_erl is available on Hex. The package can be installed by adding owoify_erl to your list of dependencies in rebar.config:

{deps, [owoify_erl]}.

Documentation will be generated with ExDoc and published on HexDocs. Once published, the docs can be found at https://hexdocs.pm/owoify_erl.

Usage

owoify_erl is implemented as a function inside the module owoify_erl. Erlang is a functional programming language, so you only need to call owoify_erl:owoify() to invoke it.

Note that while the source string is accepted as an ASCII string, the string returned by the function will be a unicode:charlist() due to Erlang's handling of Unicode texts.

io:format("~ts~n", [owoify_erl:owoify("This is the string to owo! Kinda cute isn't it?")]),
io:format("~ts~n", [owoify_erl:owoify("This is the string to owo! Kinda cute isn't it?", uvu)]).

%% Possible output
%% This is teh stwing two owo! Kinda cute isn't it?
%% fwis is teh stwing two owowowouwu Kinda cute isn't it?

Disclaimer

As always, this package is written for practicing and bots' needs. Performance is NOT guaranteed.

That being said, PRs are always welcomed.
