##Word Finder (MIT License)
I took every english word (over 200k words) and built a little NodeJS app that will help you find words that contain specific characters.
Additionally, here are instructions to deploy this app to Nodejitsu, Heroku, and Azure via Windows or Mac.
##How to Use
###The underscore
Type a word into the text box with the following pattern:
he__o
And you'll get words such as:
hello
helio
###The question mark
This character is great for games like What's the Phrase (a knock off of Wheel of Fortune)
Type a word into the text box with the following pattern:
st???
and you'll get words such as:
stack
stade
staff
stage
stagy
but you wont get words like
start
because the t would already be visible (in What's the Phrase), and you would have typed:
st??t
##Instructions for running
Go to http://nodejs.org and install NodeJS
Then clone this repo:
git clone https://github.com/amirrajan/word-finder.git
And cd into the directory (all instructions below assume you are in the word-finder directory:
cd word-finder
##Run Locally
Install all the dependencies:
npm install (you may need to prefix this with sudo if you're on Mac)
Install jasmine and jasmine-node globally:
npm install jasmine -g
npm install jasmine-node -g
To run tests, type:
jasmine-node .
If you want tests to execute every time you change a file:
jasmine-node . --autotest --watch .
Run the app:
node server.js
Then navigate to http://localhost:3000
##Signing up, and deploying to Heroku
###Documentation
From heroku.com, click Documentation, then click the Getting Started button, then click Node.js from the list of options on the left...which will take you here: https://devcenter.heroku.com/articles/nodejs
Install Heroku toolbelt from here: https://toolbelt.heroku.com/
Sign up via the website (no credit card required).
Login using the command line tool:
heroku login
Create your heroku app:
heroku create
Git deploy your app:
git push heroku master
Open the app (same as opening it in the browser):
heroku open
And your app should be up on Heroku.
