Install cargo and use
cargo install --git https://github.com/lokuciejewski/typers.git
The simplest way to get a one random Wikipedia article summary for typing is to use
typers -w
If you want to use a text file (currently supported are json and plain text file with sentences divided by newlines), use
typers -f <path to file>
Multiple sources can be combined along with -n <number> argument to specify the number of sentences. For example:
typers -w -f test/test.json -n 10
will display 10 sentences selected randomly from either Wikipedia or file source.
typers --help will display a list of available options and commands.
Sentences can be piped into typers using | operator:
echo "This is a test sentence" | typers
will enable user to type the piped sentence. The sentences are divided by . character. For example:
echo "First sentence. Second sentence." | typers
will choose one of the two sentences at random.
The pipe operator can be combined with another command line arguments to get a more variable sentence sources:
echo "This is a test sentence." | typers -w -n 10
will produce 10 random sentences from either the piped input or Wikipedia source.
