word-encoder-cli is a simple command-line tool built with Go that encodes text using the ROT13 cipher. It features an interactive TUI (Text-based User Interface) powered by bubbletea, allowing users to choose between encoding text from a file or from direct keyboard input.
- Interactive menu for selecting the input method.
- File Mode: Encodes the contents of a local file (
data.txt). - Interactive Mode: Encodes text typed directly into the terminal line by line.
- Implements the standard ROT13 substitution cipher.
- Go version 1.24 or later.
- Clone the repository to your local machine:
git clone https://github.com/favourthemaster/word-encoder-cli.git
- Navigate to the project directory:
cd word-encoder-cli
To start the application, run the following command from the project's root directory:
go run main.goYou will be greeted with an interactive menu to choose your input source:
Select if you would like to work with file input or type in input:
(•) File input
( ) Type in input
(press q to quit)
- Up/Down Arrow Keys (or
k/j): Navigate the menu. - Enter: Select an option.
- q / esc / Ctrl+C: Quit the application.
When you select "File input", the program will attempt to read a file named data.txt from the same directory. It will encode the entire content of this file using ROT13 and print the output to your terminal.
To use this mode:
- Create a file named
data.txtin the project directory. - Add any text you wish to encode into this file.
- Run the application and choose the "File input" option.
When you select "Type in input", the program will enter an interactive mode where you can type directly into the console. After you type a line of text and press Enter, the encoded version of that line will be printed.
To exit this input mode, press Ctrl+D (to signal EOF) on a new line.
This project uses the following Go package to create the terminal interface:
Go modules will automatically handle the installation of this dependency when you run the program.
