Reading from STDIN

You can tell chicken to read from STDIN by passing - as its input argument.

$> yes | ./bin/chicken -language hbo -
עוף
עוף
עוף
עוף

Or:

$> echo "hello there :chicken:" | ./bin/chicken -

Clucking

Language support for clucking is not uniformly supported yet.

$> ./bin/chicken -language eng -clucking ./cmd/chicken.go

bok bok b'gawk cluck cluck

bok bok b'gawk (
	"bok bok b'gawk"
	"bok bok bok"

Rooster

rooster is an HTTP daemon for chicken. For example:

$> bin/rooster
2017/04/30 09:53:53 🐓 on localhost:1280

And then:

$> curl -X POST 'http://localhost:1280' -d 'Hello world'
🐔 🐔

$> curl -X POST 'http://localhost:1280?language=eng' -d 'Hello world'
chicken chicken

$> curl -X POST 'http://localhost:1280?language=kor&clucking' -d 'Hello world'
꼬꼬댁 꼬꼬댁

Emoji

chicken uses the go-ucd library to convert Emoji (and other symbolic characters) in to named strings. For example:

$> ./bin/ucd 😸
GRINNING CAT FACE WITH SMILING EYES

Which becomes:

$> ./bin/chicken -
😸
🐔 🐔 🐔 🐔 🐔 🐔

Or:

./bin/chicken -
🤙
2016/06/23 07:44:32 CHAR '129305' is emoji
2016/06/23 07:44:32 BEFORE UCD '129305'
2016/06/23 07:44:32 AFTER UCD 'CALL ME HAND'
2016/06/23 07:44:32 CHAR '67' is a letter
2016/06/23 07:44:32 CHAR '65' is a letter
2016/06/23 07:44:32 CHAR '76' is a letter
2016/06/23 07:44:32 CHAR '76' is a letter
2016/06/23 07:44:32 CHAR '32' is a space
2016/06/23 07:44:32 CHAR '77' is a letter
2016/06/23 07:44:32 CHAR '69' is a letter
2016/06/23 07:44:32 CHAR '32' is a space
2016/06/23 07:44:32 CHAR '72' is a letter
2016/06/23 07:44:32 CHAR '65' is a letter
2016/06/23 07:44:32 CHAR '78' is a letter
2016/06/23 07:44:32 CHAR '68' is a letter

Note that verbose debugging information was enabled for this example.

Alpha codes

Yes.

./bin/chicken -
hello :smiley_cat:
# BEFORE hello :smiley_cat:
# AFTER hello 😺
# BEFORE %!s(int32=128570)
# AFTER SMILING CAT FACE WITH OPEN MOUTH
🐔 🐔 🐔 🐔 🐔 🐔 🐔

But wait... there's more!

I'm not suggesting you should do these things... only that you can do these things...

Compiling 🐔

$> go build -o 🐔 cmd/chicken.go
$> ./🐔 -h
Usage of ./🐔:
  -clucking
   Make chicken noises
  -language string
   A valid ISO-639-3 language code. (default "zxx")

If you're on a Mac

$> yes | ./bin/chicken -language eng -clucking - | while read line ; do say $line; done

Note: this assumes you're using bash.

Translations

• The current list of translations is very short and your help is welcome! The goal is to have a 🐔 for every language listed in ISO 639-3.

Docker

Yes, for rooster.

docker build -t rooster .
docker run -it -p 1280:1280 rooster

$> curl -X POST 'http://localhost:1280' -d 'Hello world'
🐔 🐔

WASM

Yes.

Run the handy make wasm target in the Makefile to build chicken.wasm and then use it like this:

     /* 

     this assumes something like:
     
     <textarea id="raw"></textarea>
     <button id="button" onclick="convert();" disabled>Loading...</button>

     */
	
     if (! WebAssembly.instantiateStreaming){
	 
         WebAssembly.instantiateStreaming = async (resp, importObject) => {
             const source = await (await resp).arrayBuffer();
             return await WebAssembly.instantiate(source, importObject);
         };
     }

     const go = new Go();

     let mod, inst;

     WebAssembly.instantiateStreaming(fetch("chicken.wasm"), go.importObject).then(
	 
          async result => {
	      document.getElementById("button").innerText = "Convert";
	      document.getElementById("button").removeAttribute("disabled");
              mod = result.module;
              inst = result.instance;
	      await go.run(inst);
          }
      );

     async function convert() {

	 var raw_el = document.getElementById("raw");

	 var raw_txt = raw_el.value;
	 var chicken_txt = chicken("zxx", raw_txt);

	 raw_el.value = chicken_txt;
     }
