Lab 2 Module - Character Analysis Module

The Character Analysis Module is a JavaScript module for analyzing texts. With help from this module you can count and display characters, vowels, consonants and retrieve character statistics.

Some clarifications:

• Characters are all the characters in the text, excluding spaces, punctuation marks and so on.
• Vowels are the letters a, e, i, o, u and y (excluding the swedish vocabulary).
• Consonants are all letters except the vowels.
• Other characters are all characters that are not letters like numbers, punctuation marks and so on (spaces are not included).
• Character statistics shows the top five characters, vowels and consonants from the text.

This module analysis a text as a string in the earlier mentioned ways. What more could be analyzed from a text? Maybe a future developement for the eager programmer to implement in this module.

Installation

You can install this module using npm:

npm install character-analysis-module

Usage

The module contains three classes: CharacterCounter, CharacterDisplayer and CharacterStatistics. Each class contains methods for analyzing text files.

To use the module and its methods, you need to create a txt file and provide the path to the file as an argument to the constructor of the class.

Example usage of the module:

import { CharacterCounter, CharacterDisplayer, CharacterStatistics } from 'character-analysis-module'

const filePath = 'path-to-file.txt' // Use absolute path

const characterCounter = new CharacterCounter(filePath)
const characterDisplayer = new CharacterDisplayer(filePath)
const characterStatistics = new CharacterStatistics(filePath)

console.log(characterCounter.countcharactersInFile())
console.log(characterDisplayer.showContentFromFile())
console.log(characterStatistics.getTopVowels())

characterDisplayer

• showContentFromFile(): Returns all characters (the whole content) in the file.
• showVowelsFromFile(): Returns all vowels in the file.
• showConsonantsFromFile(): Returns all consonants in the file.

characterStatistics
