Mission

Package deal!

Implement two separate modules aka dictionary and picker. The dictionary module produces a list of words from a given dictionary. The picker modules picks a random word leveraging the dictionary module.

• Clone the Labs Repo
• cd modules
• Dictionary Module (modules/dictionary)
  • Leveraging the given tests, implement a dictionary loader.
    • The loader loads a collection of words from file (see testdata)
    • The loader should take a dictionary location and a list of words to exclude from the returned list
• Picker Module (modules/picker)
  • The picker package loads words from the directory module and randomly pick a new word.
  • Initially make sure you can reference the dictionary from your own repo using the replace directive in go.mod
• Using the provided test suites. Test your entire application
• Make sure the picker cli works as expected.
• Using your own github repo user, version and publish your own dictionary module.
• BONUS!
  • Change your picker to reference a class mate dictionary module.

Commands

• Publish your dictionary module (modules/dictionary):

  • On github, create your own git repo using your own GIT_USER_HANDLE

  cd modules/dictionary
  git init
  git add .
  git commit -m 'Init drop'
  git remote add origin [email protected]:YOUR_GIT_USER_HANDLE/dictionary.git
  git push -u origin master
  # Tag your repo with version 0.1.0
  git tag -a v0.1.0 -m 'Init drop'
  git push origin v0.1.0

• Remove the replace directive in picker/go.mod as we are now going to use your published dictionary module

• In picker/main.go update the import path to use your published dictionary module handle

• Run the picker app. You should see your dependency getting pulled!

• Verify your go.mod file is now correctly referencing your new dictionary module!

• BONUS: Rinse/Repeat the last 3 steps using a classmate dictionary module.
