Morse Code Translator is a translation tool, for translating from English to Morse Code and the reverse too. The project was built as part of my participation during the _nology bootcamp. We were given one week to build the application. The main purpose of the project was for us to practice our test writing, as well as get some more practice working with JavaScript.
Tech Stack: HTML, SCSS, JavaScript and Jest as a testing suite
To get this project running in your local environment, you will need to have the Live Server VSCode extension installed (see below for why). Then, paste this into your terminal:
git clone git@github.com:encodexed/morse-code-translator.git
cd morse-code-translator
npm install #for tests
code .Then click the "Go Live" button in the bottom right of the VSCode window.
From testing, it seems that trying to just open the index.html file in your browser will throw some errors in the console. The errors refer to a violation of the CORS policy originating from trying to run or import the dom.js script. After some very brief research, I'm led to believe that the source of this problem for this project is that the script is a module. As a result, the project will become relatively useless without its DOM interactions.
- This project utilised a Test-Driven Development (TDD) approach which worked well
- The design and styling aspects of this project were very simple so that we could focus on writing our tests and functions.
This project is very simple, but the key features include:
- Entering text in the Input textarea will translate into the Output div
- Language (English/Morse) is auto-detected
- An error message is displayed for unrecognised/untranslatable input
- Tests to ensure quality and accuracy
- None, that I know of.
This project is wrapped up and I will likely not be working on it anymore, instead focusing on new projects of greater learning potential. If I were to dedicate time to this project, I would:
- Add more tests that utilise Jest's mocking functionality
