Sad Story Generator

A school project (Also known as the HaUk project because of my group)

About

A set of tools used to build a text generation. This includes a sever-side application, and interface to get text from the public, as well as the text generation software itself.

All of this is hosted at https://sadstorygenerator.herokuapp.com/.

Note that this is not only limited to "sad stories". That comes from my group, again.

How To

Getting Started

• Clone this repo, git clone https://github.com/liam-ilan/sad-story-generator.git.
• Init NPM, npm init.
• Make a .env file, and add a MONGODB_URI.

Server

• To start the server, npm start. This will host the site on port 3000.

Development

• For linting, npm run lint.
• To start development server, npm run dev.

Deployment

• Make sure to run npm run build before deployment.

Generation

• Run node /generators/getstroies.js to create a database dump used by the generators (data.json)
• Run any other file in /generators to generate stories (eg. node ordertwo.js)
• You can also generate stories through the site itself, under the generate tab, or by using the /api/generate/<type of generator> path.
