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.

[CODE by Charles Petzold]

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
  ....   .   ._..   ._..   _ _ _     ._ _   _ _ _   ._.   ._..   _..  
  h  e  l  l  o    w  o  r  l  d
