academy-union-andrei v0.2.2

README

What is this?

This is a simple exercise to learn the basics of npm packages and git.

Why?

It is part of a coding Academy I am attending.

Ok, but why all this fuss in the README?

I'm just playing around with markdown, lol.

Hmmm, what does it do then?

The exercise consisted in each student creating an npm package with an index.js printing 2 characters. The next step was to put those packages into a single one and print the final string We are the best!!! by combining all the modules.

Code

All the modules have pretty much this snippet in their index.js:

exports.myFunction = function () {
	// eslint-disable-next-line no-undef-init
	return "myString";
}

To print the full string i imported my colleagues' modules first (with require(package-name)) and then used this nice recursive function:

function printFullString(arr, i, s = "") {
	if (i < arr.length) {
		s += arr[i];
		return printFullString(arr, i+1, s);
	};
	return console.log(s);
};

How do I install this on my machine?

Well, it's actually really simple!

You have two ways:

• Clone this git directory by downloading its zip or through your bash console: Via SSH (git clone git@gitlab.com:ntabacar/academy-union-andrei.git); Via HTTPS (git clone https://gitlab.com/ntabacar/academy-union-andrei.git). * Go into that directory and write npm install

• If you have npm (you should anyway if you want to build this project): Go into the directory you created for this scope; In your bash write npm i academy-union-andrei and it will take care of everything for you.

• Now all you have to do to run the script that will print the final string is node start

Wow! Is this over yet?

Nope, still have to try tables in markdown hehe.

Special thanks to our tutor for today, mr. Arnel Helja.
