ASCII-ART-WEB

Objectives

Ascii-art-web is a program whose purpose is to create and run a server on which the web version of the Ascii-art program can be used.

Ascii-art is a program which consists in receiving a string as an argument and outputting the string in a graphic representation using ASCII.

What we mean by a graphic representation using ASCII, is to write the string received using ASCII characters, as you can see in the example below:

_|                _| _|                                                     _|       _| 
_|_|_|     _|_|   _| _|   _|_|         _|      _|      _|   _|_|   _|  _|_| _|   _|_|_| 
_|    _| _|_|_|_| _| _| _|    _|       _|      _|      _| _|    _| _|_|     _| _|    _| 
_|    _| _|       _| _| _|    _|         _|  _|  _|  _|   _|    _| _|       _| _|    _| 
_|    _|   _|_|_| _| _|   _|_|             _|      _|       _|_|   _|       _|   _|_|_| 

Basic requirements:

• You must use your ascii-art application for this project.
• You can run your server locally (localhost) or using an API.
• You must use the different banners for the website.
• It should be available to choose between the banners.
• You have to use the right HTTP methods.
• You need to have a well established connection between server and client.

This project will help you learn about :

• Client utilities.
• Back-end and front-end.
• The basics of web :
  • Server
  • HTML
  • HTTP
  • HTTP methods
  • HTTP status
• Ways to receive data
• Ways to output data

Instructions

• You must handle website errors(400, 404 and 500).
• The web server must be created in Go.
• The code must respect the good practices.
• The project must have files written in HTML and CSS.

The program is launched in the following order:

go run main.go

After launching the program, a notification will be issued that the server has started. For further work, follow the link provided on the console:

Starting server at port 8080
http://localhost:8080/

Next, our web version of the Ascii-art project will be available to you...
