MorseCodeGenerator
Although Morse code has absolutely nothing to do with computers, becoming familiar with the nature of codes is an essential preliminary to achieving a deep understanding of the hidden languages and inner structures of computer hardware and software.
Receiving Morse code and translating it back into words is considerably harder and more time consuming than sending because you must work backward to figure out the letter that corresponds to a particular coded sequence of dots and dashes.
This project therefore aims to simplify encoding and decoding of morseCode to human readable format and vice versa for learning and other purposes which can only be defined by the user
Methods
| Function | Defintion |
|---|---|
| addMorseCode(morseCodeExpression : string) | @param morseCodeExpression method supports chaining to add a new morseCode to be decoded to human readable output |
| @returns A string added to an array comprising of morse codes to be decoded | |
| space() | @returns an empty string, added to an array comprising of morse codes to be decoded, adding formatting to the morseCodes to be output to console |
| decode_toHumanReadable() | @returns Human Readable Format of user entered morseCode expression |
| encode_toMorseCode(message : string) | @param message Pass a sentence or word as an argument to the fxn (encode_toMorseCode) and have it converted into morseCode |
| @returns morseCode translation equivalent as a string | |
| output() | @returns String output after encoded or decoded operation to the console |
Pipe Operations
On Encoding
``` morseCodeGeneratorInstance > encode_toMorseCode(argx) > output() ```On Decoding
``` morseCodeGeneratorInstance > addMorseCode(argx) > space(){optional if not needed} > decode_toHumanReade() > output() ```
Using classes in the package
Javascript
let morseCode = require("morse-code-generator");
let results = new morseCode.MorseCodeGenerator();
//encoding a string of words or sentences to morseCode
results.encode_toMorseCode("Hello World").output();
//decoding morseCode to Human readable format
results
.addMorseCode("....")
.addMorseCode(".")
.addMorseCode("._..")
.addMorseCode("._..")
.addMorseCode("_ _ _")
.space()
.addMorseCode("._ _")
.addMorseCode("_ _ _")
.addMorseCode("._.")
.addMorseCode("._..")
.addMorseCode("_..")
.decode_toHumanReadable()
.output();
//results
.... . ._.. ._.. _ _ _ ._ _ _ _ _ ._. ._.. _..
