eagle 🦅

Well, what is eagle? Eagle is a simple, fast, and fun CLI-based application which functions as a helper to find answers to your programming questions.

Eagle works by searching your questions in Stack Overflow, and allowing you a plethora of options to get your answer to you as quick as possible.

This project was created with the intention of learning the language in more depth.

Takeaways:

• Got to know 'Cobra' in more detail, and I wasn't too much of a fan due to the overwhelming out-of-the-box functionality. Might try other libraries in the future.
• Though the script was very limited in it's scope got to understand net/http as well as encoding/json better.
• Bits about httptest, testing an application in general.

Installation

1. Clone the git repository.
2. Go inside the desired directory containing the main.go file.
3. Lastly run: $ go build

After that, you're ready to use eagle.

Example(s)

To search for the query "How to install Go?", sorted by votes & a maximum of 5 results: (both work)

$ .\eagle.exe search "How to install Go?" votes 5
$ .\eagle.exe search -t: "How to install Go?" -s: votes -r: 5

or... How to center a div? Using a default sort & max results:

$ .\eagle.exe search "How to center a div?"
