CodingChallenges-Wc

This project consists of building a program simulating wc command.
Thanks🙏 to John Crickett ! It's one of his coding challenges helping software engineers to improve their skills.
You can find more about the challenges here👉 https://codingchallenges.fyi/challenges/challenge-wc/

Technos:

• Typescript : programming language
• jest: for testing

Supported options

• c : number of bytes
• l : number of lines
• m : number of characters
• w: number of words

Run

• Go to the root of the repo and type npm run build to build
• Type chmod +x ccwc.sh to give execution access to ccwc (codingchallenges wc is a simple script I created to easily run the program, feel free to cat ccwc.sh)
• Bingo ! now we're ready to enjoy our own wc like so : ./ccwc.sh -option infile Or ./ccwc.sh infile -option
• No infile ? Ok, you can pipe (our wc will take input from stdin).
• Example : ./ccwc.sh -l data/text.txt // output : 7145 data/text.txt PS: Groupping options, comming soon.

Outcome

Through this project, I practiced reading file content as stream with nodejs (https://nodejs.org/api/stream.html) which is very important while processing a big files.
Another alternative for processing files in to use fs.readFile(path, mode) slower because it reads all content at once, more suitable for small files.

Feedback

Any feedback ? Yes, please🙂
